Find p and q for which the linear eqn has infinite solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

p= 2.5

q= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.

Equations in slope- intercept form:

6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)

12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒  y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)

Slopes equal:

6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)

6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)

12p- 6= 24p - 36

12p= 30

p= 30/12

p= 2.5

y-intercepts equal:

(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)

(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)

(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4

4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)

8q+12= 10q- 2

2q= 14

q= 7

75% of what number is 27?
kumpel [21]
<span>So we want to know the number from which we take 75% and get 27. If the number we are looking for is x, then the equation to find that x would be: (75/100)*x=27 which says seventy five percent out of x is equal 27. So, x=(27*100)/75. And finally, x= 2700/75=36. So, 75% out of 36 is 27.</span>
