Answer:
a = 8
b ≠ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 7
2y = ax + b
For there to be no solution, the lines (if graphed) should be parallel meaning that their slopes are equal but the y-intercepts are different
y = mx +b is the equation of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Multiply the first equation by 2
2y = 8x - 14
2y = ax + b
So a has to equal 8
b can be anything except 14 (otherwise the lines would be the same)
X = 10 * 3^n

Answer: -6
Step by step:
2x + 3(8) = 12
2x + 24 = 12
2x = -12
x = -6
<span>We know I kilometer = 0.62 miles and 1 liter = 0.26 gallon. Therefore, 12.4 km/liter = 12.4 * 0.62 miles / 0.26 gallon = 29.56 miles/gallon or we can right as aprproximately 30 miles/gallon. Thus, 12.4 km/l corresponds to 30 miles/gallon.</span>
