alleryStart learning →Two equations are dependent when all the solutions of one are also solutions of the:
AOlder engineer
BOuter envelope
COpening exhibit
DOther equation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Other equation
1. Dependence means one equation adds nothing new.
2. Everything that satisfies the first already satisfies the second.
3. Two equations are dependent if all the solutions of one are also solutions of the other.
4. So the answer is the other equation.
