1.  Lisa is working with the system of equations x + 2y = 7 and 2x ‒ 5y = 5. She multiplies the first equation by 2 and then sub

tracts the second equation to find 9y = 9, telling her that y = 1. Lisa then finds that x = 5. Thinking about this procedure, Lisa wonders:
There are lots of ways I could go about solving this problem. I could add 5 times the first equation and twice the second or I could multiply the first equation by ‒2 and add the second. I seem to find that there is only one solution to the two equations but I wonder if I will get the same solution if I use a different method?

What is the answer to Lisa’s question? Explain.

2.  Does the answer to the first question change if we have a system of two equations in two unknowns with no solutions? What if there are infinitely many solutions?

Answer:

1. Yes

2. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets test Lisa's different solution. Lets times 5 to the first equation:

5\cdot{x}+10\cdot{y}=35

and 2 times the second equation:

4\cdot{x}-10\cdot{y}=10

lets add the two equations:

9\cdot{x}=45

x=5

The second method is multiplying the first equation by -2:

-2\cdot{x}-4\cdot{y}=-14

and add the second equation:

-9\cdot{y}=-9

y=1[tex]Substitute into equation 1:[tex]x+2\cdot{1}=7

x=5

The answer to Lisa's question is yes she wull get the same solution if she uses a different method.

2. Yes, The answer would change if the same amout of x and y values are the same and therefore we cannot solve for x and y. If there was infinitely many solutions we would have quadratic equations.

All methods are supposed to be correct in most if not all situations and it should not matter if you use a different method given the options

Simplify each expression by combining like terms. 7x - 4x + 28
Pepsi [2]
3x + 28

We can combine 7x and -4x because they are like terms. 7x -4x is equal to 3x. Now we rewrite the expression as 3x + 28.

PLEASE HELP FAST ...A museum surveyed three groups of 5 members to find out how many times the members visited the zoo in the pa
Sauron [17]
I think the group 2 survey is likely to be biased towards people who are not too keen on zoos since all the values are small.
From group 1 and 3 the mean number of visits are
     (4 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 8 + 7 + 9 + 3 + 4 + 7) / 10 

=   61/10

mean = 6
