Determine if the solution set for the system of equations shown is the empty set, contains one point or is infinite.

Answer:

  one point

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of two linear equations will have one point in the solution set if the slopes of the lines are different.

__

When the equations are written in the same form, the ratio of x-coefficient to y-coefficient is related to the slope. It will be different if there is one solution.

  • ratio for first equation: 1/1 = 1
  • ratio for second equation: 1/-1 = -1

These lines have <em>different slopes</em>, so there is one solution to the system of equations.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When the equations are in slope-intercept form with the y-coefficient equal to 1, the x-coefficient is the slope.

  y = mx +b . . . . . slope = m

When the equations are in standard form (as in this problem), the ratio of x- to y-coefficient is the opposite of the slope.

  ax +by = c . . . . . slope = -a/b

As long as the equations are in the same form, the slopes can be compared by comparing the ratios of coefficients.

__

If the slopes are the same, the lines may be either parallel (empty solution set) or coincident (infinite solution set). When the equations are in the same form with reduced coefficients, the lines will be coincident if they are the same equation.

Brayden has 342 marbles in bags. If there are 9 marbles in each bag, how many bags of marbles does Brayden have If Brayden gives
Firlakuza [10]
Brayden has 38 bags.
After giving away 15 bags of marbles, Brayden is left with 23 bags.

To find out how many bags he has we do 342 divided by 9 which is 38.

To find out how many marbles are in 15 bags we do 15 x 9 which is 135.
We then do 342 - 135 to find out how many marbles he has left which is 207 and divide 207 by 9 to convert that into bags, which is 23.

Marco wants to take a taxi cab ride if the cost to ride is 7.00 with the cost per m is 0.25 per mile and mr. o can only spend 30
77julia77 [94]

Each ride has a fixed cost of 7 and a cost that increases proportionally to the distance travelled of 0.25 per mile. Therefore the total cost of the ride is:

\text{ cost(x)}=0.25\cdot x+7

Where "x" is the distance in miles. Marco can only spend 30 on his ride, therefore the cost must be less or equal to that value.

\begin{gathered} \text{ cost(x)}\leq30 \\ 0.25\cdot x+7\leq30 \end{gathered}

We can solve the linear equation by isolating the "x" variable on the left side.

\begin{gathered} 0.25\cdot x\leq30-7 \\ 0.25\cdot x\leq23 \\ x\leq\frac{23}{0.25} \\ x\leq92 \end{gathered}

Marco's travel must be shorter or equal to 92 miles.
