Question

Choose the correct description of each system of equations. 3x + y = 3 x - 2y = 4

Answer 1

Since we have a unique value of x and y, it shows that the system of the equation is consistent and independent.

Given the system of equation expressed as:

3x + y = 3

x - 2y = 4

Solve simultaneosly;

3x + y = 3 ............. 1 * 1

x - 2y = 4 ...............2 * 3

_________________________

3x + y = 3

3x - 6y = 12

Subtract

y-(6y) = 3 - 12

7y = -9

y = -9/7

Substitute y = -9/7 into the equation to get x

x - 2y = 4

x - 2(-9/7) = 4

x + 18/7 = 4

x = 4 -  18/7

x = 3/7

Since we have a unique value of x and y, it shows that the system of the equation is consistent and independent.
