1. Use the method of substitution to solve the following system of equations. If the system is dependent, express the solution set in terms of one of the variables. Leave all fractional answers in fraction form. $\begin{cases} -x - 2y = 1 \ -4x - 8y = 3 \end{cases}$ A) Only One Solution ( , , ) B) Inconsistent System C) Dependent System \{ ( , ) | $\in \mathbb{R}$ }

Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution
Use elimination to solve the system of equations, if possible. Identify whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. If the system is consistent, state whether the equations are dependent or independent. x + 4y = 29 x - 2y = -13 Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The solution is. There is a unique solution so the system is consistent and the equations are independent. (Simplify your answer. Type an ordered pair.) B. The system has infinitely many solutions of the form {(x,y) | } and is consistent. The equations are dependent. (Type an equation.) C. There are no solutions. The system is inconsistent.

Solve each system by substitution. If the system is inconsistent or has dependent equations, say so. See Examples 3–5, 8, and 9. $$ \begin{aligned} &-x-4 y=-14\\ &y=2 x-1 \end{aligned} $$
