Answer:
Given system is consistent and independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given two equations.
x+3y = 18 eq(1)
-x+2y = 7 eq(2)
We have to find whether the system is consistent, inconsistent and dependent or independent.
Consistent system has at least one solution.
Inconsistent system has no solution.
Dependent solution has identical lines.
Independent systems has different lines.
We use method of elimination to solve this.
Adding -3y to both sides of eq(1), we have
x+3y-3y = 18-3y
x = 18-3y eq(3)
put eq(3) into eq(2), we have
-(18-3y)+2y = 7
-18+3y+2y = 7
adding 18 to both sides of above equation , we have
18-18+3y+2y = 18+7
Adding like terms , we have
5y = 25
y = 5
Putting the value of y in eq(3), we have
x = 18-3(5)
x = 18-15
x = 3
Hence , the solution set is (3,5).
So, given system is consistent .
Their graphs are not same.so , their are independent.
