IF:
|1/2.x -2/3.y = 7 and
|a.x - 8.y = -1

have no solution, that means these 2 linear equations ARE PARALLEL (since they can never meet). Reminder: 2 equations are parallel if they have the same coefficient , so let write each of the equation in the normal form:

a)1/2.x -2/3.y = 7→ -2/3.y = -1/2.x + 7 → y = 3/4.x - 21/2

b) a.x - 8.y = -1 → - 8.y = -a.x - 1 → y= a/8.x + 1 

a) and b) are // if (3/4) = (a/8), [the 2 coefficient OR the 2 slopes)
a/8 = 3/4 → a = 24/4 and a = 6 (Answer D)

How many tickets were sold after June 15th?
AysviL [449]

Answer: About 45.

Step-by-step explanation: There's always a pattern in these kinds of questions, you can see for 9th to 13th August, the number has always been  between 20 to 40. And since on 13th August the graph is on a rise again, it would be around 45. 90 is just not realistic considering there's only an increase of around 5-10 tickets every day.

Is -0.25 or -0.05 larger?
rusak2 [61]
-0.05 is larger. Since they're negative, you're going by which is closer to 0 rather than farther. -0.05 is closer to 0 on a number line, so it's larger than -0.25.

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = 6 when x = 2, find x when y = 12. 4 3
kobusy [5.1K]

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}x~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} y=6\\ x=2 \end{cases}\implies 6=k(2)\implies \cfrac{6}{2}=k\implies 3=k \\\\\\ therefore\qquad \boxed{y=3x} \\\\\\ \textit{when y = 12, what is \underline{x}?}\qquad 12=3x\implies \cfrac{12}{3}=x\implies 4=x

A circle is shown. Identify the center of the circle.
Vlada [557]

Step-by-step explanation:STEP 1: Draw two straight, intersecting tangent lines onto the circle. The lines can be completely random. However, the process will be easier if you make them roughly square or rectangular.

STEP 2: Translate both of the lines to the other side of the circle. You will end up with four tangent lines forming a parallelogram or a rough rectangle.

STEP 3: Draw the diagonals of the parallelogram. The point where these diagonal lines intersect is the circle's center.

STEP 4: Check the accuracy of the center with a compass. The center should be on target as long as you didn't slip while translating the lines or when drawing the diagonals. Feel free to erase the parallelogram and diagonal lines.
