Why do some absolute value equations have no solution?

2 answers:

7 0

An absolute value is the distance from 0 on a number line so it must be a positive number, and so because of that it is impossible to get or equal -1, this equation has no solution.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If taxes have been underpaid, it won’t matter to the IRS who is responsible. If the return was filed jointly, the government can go after both even if one didn’t personally earn one penny of the reported income.

Hence in the given case,

For the unpaid amount of $38,200 IRS can assess either Mr.peterson or Mrs.Peterson for the entire deficiency as both are jointly and severally liable for the tax paid before they got divorced.

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism measures 15.6cm. Tower two, a cube with a cylinder measures 18.3cm. Tower 3, a hexagona

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tower one = 15.6 cm

Tower two = 18.3 cm

Tower 3 = 13.9 cm.

Required:

Height of the 4th tower

Represent a cube by X; a cylinder by Y and a hexagonal prism by Z

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism = X + Z = 15.6

Tower two, a cube with a cylinder = X + Y = 18.3

Tower 3, a hexagonal prism with a cylinder = Z + Y = 13.9

$X + Z = 15.6$ ----- Equation 1

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 2

$(X + Y = 18.3) - (X + Z = 15.6)$

$X - X + Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 2.7$ ---- Equation 4

Add Equation 4 to Equation 3

$(Y - Z = 2.7) + (Z + Y = 13.9)$

$Y + Y - Z + Z = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 16.6$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2Y}{2} = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = 8.3cm$

Substitute $Y = 8.3cm$ in Equation 2 and 3

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$X + 8.3 = 18.3$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$X + 8.3 - 8.3 = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 10cm$

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

$Z + 8.3 = 13.9$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$Z + 8.3 - 8.3 = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 5.6cm$

So, we have that

$X = 10cm$

$Y = 8.3cm$

$Z = 5.6cm$

The question states that the 4th tower is made up of the three shapes;

This implies that;

$Tower 4 = X + Y + Z$

$Tower 4 = 10cm + 8.3cm + 5.6cm$

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

The height of the 4th tower is 23.9cm

Which of the following best describes the solution to the system of equations below?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

Solve for y from each equation:

$\left \{ {{5y=-4x+7} \atop {10y=-8x+14}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-8}{10}x+\frac{14}{10}}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}}} \right.$

As you can see the slope and the y-intercept of each equation are equal, this means that both are the exact same line. Therefore, you can conclude that the system has infinitely many solutions.
