The solution is 𝑥 = 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 0 or in ordered pair form of (0,0). Since there is only one ordered pair, the
solution is inconsistent and independent. Therefore, the solution has ONE REAL SOLUTION.

STEP 2: Add the new set of equation to eliminate y term by leaving x term only.
9𝑥 – 3𝑦 = 21
−9𝑥 + 3𝑦 = −21
0 + 0 =0
For any values of y, the result is still 0 and it is true for x. It is incorrect to say that it has no solution since
the procedure never come up an unequal result. Therefore, the solution is infinite or in interval notation (−∞, ∞)
and it is consistent and dependent. The solution is INFINITELY MANY REAL SOLUTIONS.
