Hey there Mejia021274,
1) Independent systems have exactly one solution:
x + y = 1
x - y = 3
x = 2, y = -1
2) Inconsistent systems have no solutions :
5x + y = 6
5x + y = 10
There is no solution as 5x + y cannot be equal to 6 and 10
3) Consistent systems have a lot of solutions:
x+y = 5
<span>2x+2y = 10 </span>
<span>A few solutions to this system are (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1), (5,0), and so on.
</span>
Hope this helps :))

Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of length to width = 7 : 4
length = 7x
width = 4x
7x + 4x = 11x
length = 880
width = 4x
= 4(125.71)
= 502.85
Answer:
x = 3.25
y =4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution method we say that;
let;
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
from equation2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
substitute for x in equation 1
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
8(8-y) - 4y = 7
64-8y-4y=7
64-12y=7
collect the like terms
64-7 = 12y
57= 12y
divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 12
57/12 = 12y/12
4.75 = y
y =4.75
put y = 4.75 in equation 3
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
x = 8 -4.75
x = 3.25
to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and y in either equation 1 or 2
from equation 2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
3.25 + 4.75 =8
8=8.................... proved
