Question 58035
I need to solve the following systems by addition. If a unique solution does not exist, I need to state whether the system is inconsistent or dependent. 
1st: 2x + 3y = 1
2nd: 5x + 3y = 16 
Subtract 1st from 2nd to get:
3x=15
x=5
Substitute in 1st or in 2nd to solve for y.
2(5)+3y=1
10+3y=1
3y=-9
y=-3
Solution:
x=5, y=-3
Cheers,
