Answer:
ax+b
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:Distribute -2 into 5 and 8
Step 2:Subtract 6x from both sides
Step3: Add 16 to both sides
Step 4: Divide -16 into 30
Let the number be x.
1st number = x
2nd number = x + 2
3rd number = x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -9
3x + 6 = -9
3x = -15
x = -5
1st number = x = -5
2nd number = x + 2 = -3
3rd number = x + 4 = -1
Answer: The numbers are -1, -3, and -5
Two linear equations can have no solutions, exactly one solution or infinitely many solutions. There will be no solution if the lines are parallel on a graph. There will be exactly one solution if the lines intersect each other on a single point. And finally, there will be infinite solutions if the lines overlap each other perfectly.
A single line however has infinite ordered pair solutions as the line travels infinitely in both directions on the coordinate plane. For example, using the equation y=3x, for any real value of x, we will get a real value for y.
Linear inequalities with two variables have infinitely many solutions. We can use the inequality y>3x as an example. For any real value of x, we will get a real value for y.
I hope this helps!
