Hi there!

The way that an infinite number of solutions is achieved is when the two equations, when solved together, get an answer which is just a number equal to the same number. To do this, first substitute 6x-b in for y in the second equation.

-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-b)=-3

-3x+3x-\frac{1}{2}b=-3

-\frac{1}{2}b=-3

Now, we see that b needs to be equal to -3 when multiplied by -1/2. When both sides are divided by -1/2, b becomes equal to 6. Thus, b must be 6.

Check work:

6x-6=y

-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-6)=-3

-3x+3x-3=-3

-3=-3

Thus, as they are equal to each other, the answer is correct. b = 6.

Hope this helps!

Angie is organising a party for 84 adults and 42 children.
makvit [3.9K]
Add up the 84 and 42 to get 126, then divide by 6 to get the number of tables which is 21. And the number of seats is 126 because you would need a seat for every person. Hope this helps.

Find an equation parallel to the line, y= -3x -1
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

y = 3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel, that means it has the same slope. The given equation had a slope of 3, so the new line must also have a slope of 3.

You can plug the given coordinates into the slope-intercept form with a slope of 3 to find your answer.

y = m*x + b

7 = 3*3 + b

7 = 9 + b

-2 = b

y = 3x -2

I Hope This Helps :D
