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

question 137

Short Answer

Solve the system by using either the substitution method or the elimination-by-addition method, whichever seems more appropriate. $\left( \begin{array} { c c c c } x &+& y & = & 1,100 \\0.96 x &+ &0.29 y & = & 654\end{array} \right)$ 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 ).
