Solve the system using elimination. State whether the system is consistent, inconsistent, or dependent: x - 3y = -4, 2x + y = 13.
Added by Joseph C.
Step 1
Multiply the second equation by 3 to eliminate y: 2x + y = 13 3(2x + y) = 3(13) 6x + 3y = 39 Show more…

Systems of Equations in Two Variables
Solve each system or state that the system is inconsistent or dependent. $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=\frac{2}{3} \\ \frac{2 x}{3}+y=\frac{4}{3}\end{array}\right.$$

Solving Systems of Linear Equations by the Addition Method
Solve each system using the elimination method. If a system is inconsistent or has dependent equations, say so. $$ \begin{array}{l} -2 x+3 y=1 \\ -4 x+y=-3 \end{array} $$
