Lesson Description:
This is part 2 of how to solve a system of equations using the substitution method. It covers special cases--a dependent system when the 2 equations are the same, and therefore the solution is infinitely many ordered pairs. The other is an inconsistent system, so there is no solution.

Staff Review
This lesson goes through some special cases of systems of equations. In the first example, you end up getting a false statement, which means the system is inconsistent and there is no solution. In the second example, you get a true statement, which means the system is dependent and there are infinitely many solutions. Both examples are done in great detail and explained very well. The video is very similar to the previous system of equations video, and is very well done.
