Solve the System by Using the Elimination-By-Addition Method $$\left( \begin{array} { l } 3 x &+ &8 y &= &3 \\5 x& - &8 y& = &1\end{array} \right)$$

question 45

Short Answer

Solve the system by using the elimination-by-addition method. $$\left( \begin{array} { l } 3 x &+ &8 y &= &3 \\5 x& - &8 y& = &1\end{array} \right)$$ If the equations of the system are dependent, or if a system is inconsistent, so indicate. In those cases enter dependent or inconsistent . Otherwise, enter your answer as an ordered pair ( x , y ).
