Question 289925
1.{{{4x+y=16}}}
2.{{{5x+6y=1}}}
Multiply eq. 1 by -6 and add to eq. 2, then solve for x.
{{{-24x-6y+5x+6y=-96+1}}}
{{{-19x=-95}}}
{{{highlight(x=5)}}}
Then use either equation to solve for y.
{{{4x+y=16}}}
{{{4(5)+y=16}}}
{{{20+y=16}}}
{{{highlight(y=-4)}}}
This system is independent and consistent.
