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)
Answer:
5 = 9 + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: he purchased 16 ride tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ride tickets that he purchased.
Let y represent the number of game tickets that he purchased.
Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park. It means that
x + y = 50
If ride tickets cost $.75 each and game tickets cost $.50 each and the total amount spent on the tickets is $29, it means that
0.75x + 0.5y = 29- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.75(50 - y) + 0.5y = 29
37.5 - 0.75y + 0.5y = 29
- 0.75y + 0.5y = 29 - 37.5
- 0.25y = - 8.5
y = - 8.5/-0.25
y = 34
x = 50 - y = 50 - 34
x = 16
