state whether or not the system is consistent and independent or consistent and dependent or inconsistent x+y=4 2x-y=-7

OpenStudy (jit4won):

divide the coefficients of x and y if you get different answers it will give you a unique solution

OpenStudy (jit4won):

Here 1/1 is not equal to 1/-1

OpenStudy (jit4won):

Definitely you will get a unique solution

OpenStudy (jit4won):

Equation is consistent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

consistent/ dependent or independent/consistant

OpenStudy (jit4won):

independent/consistan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u tell the difference?

OpenStudy (jit4won):

In case of unique solution x and y don't depend on each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thanks for clearing it up 4 me

OpenStudy (jit4won):

You wanna listen /learn it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (jit4won):

Do you anything to listen my voice ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unfortunately no i dont

OpenStudy (jit4won):

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
