3a^5 - (-a^5) = 3a^5 + a^5 = 4a^5
6a^7 - 2a^7 = 4a^7
-3a^5 - (-2a^5) = -3a^5 + 2a^5 = -a^5
7a^7 - 8a^7 = -a^7

There isn't any choices given in this problem but I can give you a tip to answer these kinds of problem. When you say independent, it means that the equation cannot be algebraically altered to result to 3x + 4y = 8. So the equation 6x + 8y = 16 is not an independent equation since when you divide each side by 2 it will result to 3x + 4y =8. You get the idea. <span />
