1. A consistent system that has exactly one solution is
called independent.
4x 1 10y 5 12
2. If the two lines intersect at one point, then the solution
is the point of intersection. If the two lines are parallel,

there is no solution. If the two lines coincide then there
are infinitely many solutions.
Each point on the line is a solution, and the system has
infinitely many solutions. The system is consistent
and dependent.

2. Multiply one (or both) of the equations by a constant
to obtain coefcients that differ only in sign for one

of the variables. Add the revised equations together and
solve for the remaining variable. Substitute this value
into either of the original equations and solve for the
other variable.

7. Sample answer:
The planes of three linear equations in three variables

can intersect in three different ways. They could intersect
in exactly one point, intersect in a line, or never intersect
at all.

determinants of the matrices formed by replacing the
coefcients of x and y, respectively, with the column of
constants. The denominator of x and y is the determinant
of the coefcient matrix.

Sample answer: If you look at the graphs of the

2 equations, the two lines intersect at (12.5, 50.4). This
means that about one-half of the way into the twelfth
year, the video game spending will equal that of the
box ofce spending.
