Solve the System by Using Substitution $\left( \begin{array} { lll } a&=&4 b&+&6 \\2 a&+&6 b&=&-16\end{array} \right)$

Short Answer

Solve the system by using substitution. $\left( \begin{array} { lll } a&=&4 b&+&6 \\2 a&+&6 b&=&-16\end{array} \right)$ If the equations of the system are dependent, or if a system is inconsistent, so indicate. In those cases enter dependent or inconsistent . Otherwise, enter your answer as an ordered pair ( a , b ).
