What is the best category for the system of equations shown:
2x + 6y = 14
- 2x+2y =- 10
1.Consistent / Independent
2.Consistent / Dependent
3.Inconsistent / Independent
4.None of the above.

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations has been given as

2x + 6y = 14

By dividing this equation by 2

x + 3y = 7 (1)

Second equation is,

-2x + 2y = -10

-x + y = -5 (2)

By adding equation (1) and equation (2)

(x + 3y) + (-x + y) = 7 - 5

2x = 2

x = 1

By putting x = 1 in the equation (1)

1 + 3y = 7

3y = 6

y = 2

So, we get exactly one solution pair (1, 2) where these lines are intersecting.

Therefore, the best category that defines the system of equations is Consistent/Independent

Option (1) will be the answer.

answer: add the !

step-by-step explanation: then we will answer

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%
