Is it consistent or inconsistent and is it dependednt or independent?
1/3x-2y=6
-1/2x+3y=9
THANK YOU!
Get the x terms equal. Then:
If the y terms are different, the equations are independent.
If the y terms are same and the constant is the same, they are consistent,
If the y terms are same and the constant is different, they are inconsistent,
So: multiply first equation by 3:
x - 6y = 18
multiply second equation by -2:
x - 6y = -18
The equations are inconsistent (they contradict each other)
