Which of the following equations have exactly one solution?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

For choice A, we can rearrange the equation to $38x=0,$ so it has exactly one solution, $x=0.$

For choice B, we rearrange the equation to $38x=36,$ so this too has exactly one solution, $x=\frac{36}{38}=\frac{18}{19}.$

Rearranging the equation in choice C by eliminating the $x$ terms gives us the false equality $-18=18,$ so this equation has no solutions.

Eliminating $x$ in the equation in choice D gives the equality $18=18,$ which is always true, so this equation has infinitely many solutions.

Thus, we conclude that choices A and B work.

Which statement is true about the purpose of trend lines in scatterplots? A trend line must pass through the largest data point.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a trend line can be used to make predictions in real-world situations (the third option)

Explanation:

the first & second options are wrong because it is not a requirement for a trend line to pass through any given data point.

the fourth option is wrong because a trend line shows the general upward/downward trend of the data, and may not necessarily touch all of the data points.

the third option is correct because a trend line helps to roughly estimate the trend (hence the name) of the graph, which allows us to make predictions in real-world situations.

i hope this helps! :D

Answer:

B. 9,000,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to determine the best estimate of the number of bottles sold this year and last year.

The best estimate means rounding up to the nearest whole number.

Given that:

7,234,267,990 bottles of water were purchased this year

2,000,900,999 bottles of water were purchased last year

The estimate of the bottles sold this year and last year from the above value is:

= 7,000,000,000 + 2,000,000,000

= 9,000,000,000
