Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}x=25$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books in a shipment.

We are asked to write an equation for the given description.

1/5 of a shipment of books would be $\frac{1}{5}x$ .

1/5 of a shipment of books weights 25 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{1}{5}x=25$

Therefore, our required equation would be $\frac{1}{5}x=25$ .

y= -4x-2y= -4x-5Graph each system. Tell whether the system has A. No solution B. One solution C. Infinitely many solutions D. Ca

Crank

The graph of the system is

where y= -4x-2 is in red, and y= -4x-5 is in blue.

Given that the lines are parallel, then there is no solution to the system of equations.

Which of the following ordered pairs are solution to the equation y=-2x+6

konstantin123 [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure what the ordered pairs due to you not providing them, but I can tell you the best way to see if they are solutions.

The best way to do so is by substituting the x and y values into the equation.

For example, if you had the ordered pair (5,2), then you would put the x coordinate in place of x and the y coordinate in the place of y.

Like so:

2 = -2(5)+6

The way you know if its a solution is if they equal the same thing.

Solution example:

2 = 2

Non-solution example:

5 ≠ 3

Hope that helped!
