Answer:

  1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy can simplify the equation enough to determine if the x-coefficient on one side of the equation is the same or different from the x-coefficient on the other side. Here, that simplification is ...

  -3x -3 +3x = -3x +3 +3

We see that the x-coefficient on the left is 0; on the right, it is -3. These values are different, so there is one solution.

__

In the attached, the left-side expression is called y1; the right-side expression is called y2. The two expressions are equal where the lines they represent intersect. That point of intersection is x=3. (For that value of x, both sides of the equation have a value of -3.)

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If the equation's x-coefficients were the same, we'd have to look at the constants. If they're the same, there are an infinite number of solutions. If they are different, there are no solutions.

What could be the ordered pairs representing vertices C and D of quadrilateral abcd so that the new fire department is congruent
ohaa [14]
Given that <span>a city grid of Anytown, USA is shown on the grid below. The fire department is represented by quadrilateral RSTU. Another fire department is opening in a different part of the city to maximize fire protection. The size of the new department's property must be congruent to the older department. Vertices A and B are plotted on the grid to represent two vertices of the new fire department quadrilateral ABCD.

Map of Anytown; the line y equals 7 is Main Road; the line y equals 3 is Rose Lane; the line y equals negative 1 is Crystal Avenue; the line x equals negative 4 is Brick Street; the diagonal line is Dogwood Drive; Old Fire Department forms quadrilateral with ordered pairs R at negative 4, 7, S at negative 1, 7; T at negative 1, 3; U at negative 4, 3; A is at 4, negative 1 and B is at 1, negative 1

Recall that t</span><span>wo shapes are said to be congruent if the lengths of the sides and the angles are the same.

For quadrilateral RSTU to be congruent to quadrilateral ABCD, then RS = AB, RU = AD, ST = BC and TU = CD

Also, the figure ABCD is a result of a rigid body translation of the figure RSTU.

Given that R is at point (-4, 7) and A is at point (4, -1), also given that S is at point (-1, 7) and B is at point (1, -1).

It can be seen that points AB is a result of refrecting points RS across the y-axis and then shifting the resulting points down by 8 units.

Thus, given point T as (-1, 3) and point U as (-4, 3), refrection of points T and U across the y-axis will result in points (1, 3) and (4, 3), then shifting the resulting points down by 8 units will result to points (1, -5) and (4, -5)

Therefore, the ordered pairs representing vertices C and D of quadrilateral ABCD so that the new fire department is congruent to the old fire department are C(1, -5) and D(4, -5).</span>
