Question

Choose the correct description of each system of equations (Problems 2 & 3). F consistent and independent H consistent and dependent G inconsistent J inconsistent and dependent 2. X + 2y = 7 -2x – 4y = -14

Answer 1

Answer:

Dependent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations we got there is dependent. This is because they are both basically the same equation, so the graph of both of them is just the same. We can get one equation from the other:

x+2y=7

if we multiplied both sides of the equation by -2 we would get:

-2(x+2y)=-2(7)

-2x-4y=-14

This means that the system of equations will have infinitely many answers.
