This is most likely the answer
Answer:
a = 8
b ≠ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 7
2y = ax + b
For there to be no solution, the lines (if graphed) should be parallel meaning that their slopes are equal but the y-intercepts are different
y = mx +b is the equation of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Multiply the first equation by 2
2y = 8x - 14
2y = ax + b
So a has to equal 8
b can be anything except 14 (otherwise the lines would be the same)
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.
The area of each of these is 864 square feet.
Just use teh same numbers as the perimeter and times it by 7 and 5
