The system won't have a unique solution when what appears to be two lines is really only one line. The coefficients in an equation for a line only matter in ratio; if we multiply them all by the same non-zero scalar we'll still have the same line, of course with an infinite number of points on it, our infinite number of solutions.

2x - y = 8

6x - 3y = 4a

We need these to be the same equation, meaning they have to have all the same solutions. So we have to figure out the factor to multiply the first equation by to get the second.

That factor is obviously 3 because 3(2x)=6x and 3(-y)=-3y. So we need the constants in the same ratio,

3(8) = 4a

24 = 4a

a = 6

Answer: B. 6

<u>1.2*8=16</u>

<u>16-8=8</u>

<u>2.6*8=48</u>

<u>3*8=24</u>

<u>4*8=32</u>

<u>48-24=32</u>

I need help with this one pls!

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{b = \frac{a}{ac - 1}}$

We can begin by making each fraction have a common denominator:

If we make each have a common denominator of ab, we get:

$\frac{b}{ab} + \frac{a}{ab} = c$

Simplify:

$\frac{a + b}{ab} = c$

Multiply both sides by ab:

$a + b = cab$

Move b to the opposite side:

$a = cab - b$

Factor out b:

$a = b(ac - 1)$

Divide by (ac - 1):

$\frac{a}{ac - 1} = b$

Solve for a. 1/3(21−3a)=6−a a.−1 b.0 c.no solution d.all real numbers

kifflom [539]

1/3(21 - 3a) = 6 - a
7 - a = 6 - a
7 = 6

Therefore, the equation has no solution.
