Unless you show a picture, its impossible to solve.

Answer:
a = 3, b = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the first equation for y, we get ...
2y +16 = 6x . . . . . given
y = 8 +3x . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3x -8 . . . . . . . subtract 8
In order for the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be the same as this:
y = ax +b
a = 3, b = -8
2x-x-7=0
3x-7=0
add 7 to 7 and 0, so then we cross out 7-7, and then
3x=7, bc u change the subtraction to addition, sr if thst doesn't make sense but 3x=7 is the answer
Actually,
I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must
there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?"
Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are
smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through
the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?
Answer:
-61/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2 + x = - 21/4 - 23/4 - 19/4
-1/2 + x = -(21+23+19)/4
x = -63/4 + 1/2
x= -63/4 + 2/4
x = -61/4
Hope that helps, tell me if you need further explanation. =)
