\

Rewrite the equations in standard form.

\

Case (i):

\

\"\"                              (Original equation)

\

\"\"           (Add \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                                 (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

Case (ii):

\

\"\"                                 (Original equation)

\

\"\"        (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                              (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                    (Divide each side by \"\")

\

\"\"                         (Cancel common terms)

Graph:

\

Graph the equations \"\" and \"\":

\

\"\"

\

Observe the graph:

\

The lines intersect at one point \"\".

\

Therefore, there is one solution.

\

The system is consistent and independent.

\

\"\"
