Solution

The system of equations given is:

  1. y = 3x - 5
  2. 2x + y = 8

To determine the type of system, we can solve one of the equations for one variable and substitute it into the other equation.

From equation 1), we have y = 3x - 5.

Substitute y = 3x - 5 into equation 2):

2x + (3x - 5) = 8 5x - 5 = 8 5x = 13 x = 13/5

Substitute x = 13/5 into equation 1):

y = 3*(13/5) - 5 y = 39/5 - 25/5 y = 14/5

So, the solution to the system of equations is x = 13/5 and y = 14/5.

Since there is one unique solution, the system of equations is independent.

So, the answer is a. Independent.
