How many solutions does the following system have? y=x-2 -x+y=-5

To find how many solution our system has, we are going to find the slope of each equation.
y=x-2 equation (1)
-x+y=-5 equation (2)
To find the slope, we are going to express both equations in the form: y=mx+b
where
m is the slope

Notice that equation (1) is already in the form y=mx+b; from equation (1) we can infer that m=1

To express equation (2) in the form y=mx+b, we are going to add x to both sides of the equation: 
-x+x+y=x-5
y=x+5
Now, we can infer that the slope of equation (2) is m=1. Since both equations have the same slope, we are dealing with parallel lines; parallel lines don't intercept, so the system has no solutions.

We can conclude that the correct answer is  the first choice: <span>no solutions</span>

The first term in a geometric series is 64 and the common ratio is 0.75. Find the sum of the first 4 terms in the series.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

195.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider geometric series  S(n) where initial term is a

So S(n)=a+ar^1+...ar^n

Factor out a

S(n)=a(1+r+r^2...+r^n)

Multiply by r

S(n)r=a(r+r^2+r^3...+r^n+r^n+1)

Subtract S(n) from S(n)r

Note that only 1 and rn^1 remain.

S(n)r-S(n)=a(r^n+1  -1)

Factor out S(n)

S(n)(r-1)=a(r^n+1  -1)

The formula now shows S(n)=a(r^n+1  -1)/(r-1)

Now use the formula for the problem

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y-16x=12
Mice21 [21]
The formula for slope is y=mx+b
so if you re arrange the equation from 8y-16x=12
to 8y=16x+12
the slope will be the coefficient of x =16
