Solve the System by Using Either the Substitution Method or the Elimination-By-Addition

question 34

Short Answer

Solve the system by using either the substitution method or the elimination-by-addition method, whichever seems more appropriate. $$\left( \begin{array} { c c } y & =& 4 x \\0.71 x & +& 0.06 y &= &475\end{array} \right)$$ 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 ).
