Question

Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, or inconsistent?

y = 2x - 8 
2x - y = 8

anonymous · Answer

both equations are exactly the same.

anonymous · Answer

2x-y=8
-y= -2x+8
y= 2x-8

anonymous · Answer

so its independent? or dependent?

anonymous · Answer

Since both equations are same and there is no added variable hence the equation is independent
