Question

please help. classify the system as independant, dependant, or inconsistant. problem in comments. best answer and i will become a fan.

Answer 1

\[2y=x-4\]\[3x-6y=12\]

Answer 2

lets multiply 2y=x-4 by 3
we get 6y=3x-12
which is the same as 3x-6y=12
so we have 3x-6y=0,
so the system is dependent, that is for each x, an y exists so that the pair (x,y) satisfies your system.

Answer 3

"so we have 3x-6y=0", was wrong line - it's 3x-6y=12

Answer 4

thank you for the help lol even though im already a fan :)

Answer 5

well, i am skilled in much more than linear systems, so don't be afraid to ask :P
