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

Which is the correct first line for dividing the function
Firlakuza [10]

Given function is f(x) = x³ -12x +16.

We can write it as x³ +0x² -12x +16.

We need to write the numbers in order from left to right, so it would be {1, 0, -12, 16}.

Given factor is x -2 = 0, that means x = 2. So we need to divide the numbers by 2.

So correct way to divide the function would be 2 L 1, 0, -12, 16.

Hence, option C is correct.
