Part A.
You need two equations with the same slope and different y-intercepts.
Their graph is parallel lines. Since the lines do not intersect, there is no solution.
y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 2
Part B.
We use the first equation as above. For the second equation, we use an equation with different slope. Two lines with different slopes always intersect.
y = 2x + 2
y = -2x - 2
In the second equation, y = -2x - 2. We now substitute -2x - 2 for y in the first equation.
-2x - 2 = 2x + 2
-4x = 4
x = -1
Now substitute -1 for x in the first equation to find y.
y = 2x + 2
y = 2(-1) + 2
y = -2 + 2
y = 0
Solution: x = -1 and y = 0
Let the four consecutive numbers be x, x+1, x+2, and x+3.
The sum of the four numbers is 54, therefore
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 54
4x + 6 = 54
4x = 54 - 6 = 48
x = 12
Answer:
The four numbers are 12, 13, 14, and 15
