I am not sure the definition of causing inconstitent-indipendent system.

ageta · Answer

it mean that is is the only one that is not correct. so check the others and check if you get to the one that is different.

Yeh.. but how do I tell which one is a inconstitent-indipendent system?

ageta · Answer

compare it to 4x+2y=9 one of it must be not consistent which mean it is changed

baewolfstar · Answer

Would it be D?

4x+2y is (an obvious) multiply of 2x+y

solomonzelman · Answer

"multiple" I meant.
