8x-7y=35 
7y-8x=-35



8x-7y=35 
-8x+7y=-35


Now add the equations to get


(8x-7y)+(-8x+7y) = 35+(-35)


(8x+(-8x)) + (-7y+7y) = 0


0x+0y = 0


0 = 0


Since the equation is ALWAYS true, this means that there are an infinite number of solutions.


So the system is consistent and dependent.
