Solve the given system of equations by the method where the first step is to express one variable through the other from any of the equations, 3x + 4y = - 8 ; x - y = 3 Answer as ordinary fractions
Adi S.
Solve the system using the substitution method. For systems that do not have one unique solution, also state the number of solutions and whether the system is inconsistent or the equations are dependent. $$\begin{aligned}&-2 x+y=4\\&-\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{1}{8} y=\frac{1}{4}\end{aligned}$$
