Please answer the following questions related to linear systems. Each question requires a written response, so ensure to answer in complete sentences.
Define a linear system. What distinguishes it from a non-linear system?
Consider the following system of equations: [ \begin{align} 2x + y &= 10 \ 3x - y &= 5 \end{align} ] What is the solution to this system of equations? Please show your work.
Explain the method of substitution when solving a linear system. Why is this method sometimes preferred over elimination?
A system of equations has no solution. What does this indicate about the lines represented by the equations? Describe the scenario graphically.
Suppose you have the equations (x + 2y = 4) and (2x + 4y = 8). What can you infer about the relationship between these two equations? Are they independent, dependent, or inconsistent? Justify your answer.
