Given:
The system of equations is
To find:
The missing value for which the given system of equations have infinitely many solutions.
Solution:
Let the missing value be k.
We have,
Taking all the terms on the left side, the given equations can be rewritten as
The system of equations and
have infinitely many solutions if
We have,
Now,
On cross multiplication, we get
Therefore, the missing value is -10.
Answer:
We have the equation:
3x - 5y = 15
a) We want to create a table with at least 4 points.
To do this, first, let's write the equation as a function: We must isolate one of the variables. Let's isolate y.
5y = 3x - 15
y = (3/5)*x - 3.
Then we have a linear equation.
Now, we can input different values of x, and see what value takes y in each case, then in this way we can be sure that the points will be on the line.
x = 0.
y = (3/5)*0 - 3
y = -3
Then we have the point (0, -3).
x = 1.
y = (3/5)*1 - 3 = 3/5 - 15/5 = -12/5
y = -12/5
Then we have the point (1, -12/5)
x = 5
y = (3/5)*5 - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0
y = 0
then we have the point (5, 0)
x = 10
y = (3/5)*10 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3
y = 3
Then we have the point (10, 3).
Now we can create the table
Below you can see a graph, where the blue dots are our 4 points, and the green line is the line that represents the equation.
