state whether or not the system is consistent and independent or consistent and dependent or inconsistent x+y=4 2x-y=-7
divide the coefficients of x and y if you get different answers it will give you a unique solution
Here 1/1 is not equal to 1/-1
Definitely you will get a unique solution
Equation is consistent
consistent/ dependent or independent/consistant
independent/consistan
how do u tell the difference?
In case of unique solution x and y don't depend on each other
oh okay thanks for clearing it up 4 me
You wanna listen /learn it ?
sure
Do you anything to listen my voice ?
unfortunately no i dont
Okay ..try this Divide coefficients of x and y and check if are not equal . In this case equation is consistent/independent . If you get them equal go for remaining two numbers . find the ratio .all three ratios are equal then solution is consistent /dependent else solution is inconsistent
