Answer: The system has infinitely solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations : -

-5x-4y=-4\\\Rightarrow\ -5x-4y+4=0-----(1)\\\\25x+ 20y = 20\\\Rightarrow\ 25x+20y-20=0----(2)

Compare these equation with a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0 and  a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0 respectively , we get

a_1=-5\ ;b_1=-4\ ;\ c_1=4

a_2=25\ ;b_2=20\ ;\ c_2=-20

Now, \dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{-5}{25}=\dfrac{-1}{5}

\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{-4}{20}=\dfrac{-1}{5}

\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}=\dfrac{4}{-20}=\dfrac{-1}{5}

Thus , \dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}=\dfrac{-1}{5}

It means these lines are coincident, thus they have infinite number of solutions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-4y=-4  ...(1)

25x+ 20y = 20 ....(2)

multiply (1) by -5 you have : 25x+ 20y = 20 ....(2) same equation , same line

so : The system has infinitely solutions.

During a sale at a bookstore, a customer buys one book at full price. The customer is given a 25 percent discount on a second bo
RoseWind [281]
Amount paid for the first book is $17.

Amount paid for the second book is 0.75 x 8 = $6

Total amount paid = $17 + $6 = $23

Total full cost of the two books = $17 + $8 = $25

Amount of discount = $25 - $23 = $2

% reduction = \frac{2}{25} \times100\%=8\%

Therefore, the <span>percent of the total cost of the two books reduced during the sale</span> is 8%

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Approximate percent error = 15%

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the percentage of error be "e"

Anticipated sales = 2,500

Actual sales = 2,125

The percentage error "e" can be calculated as per the equation below:

2500*(1-e) = 2125

(1-e) = 2125/2500

1-e = 0.85

e = 1-0.85

e = 0.15

e = 15%

Approximate percentage error = 15%
