You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve each system by substitution. Determine whether the
equations are independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
2x – y = 4
2x – y = 3
---
Subtract the left side from the right side to get:
0 = 1
---
That is a contradiction resulting from our assuption
that the variables have the same value in the two
equations.
---
They don't.
So we say the system is inconsistent.
---
It has no solution.
