Answer:

(A)\ a=-6;b=4\\\\ (B)\ a=6;b=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+c

Where "m" is the slope and "c" is the y-intercept.

By definition:

1. If the lines of the System of equations are parallel (whrn they have the same slope), the system has No solutions.

2. If the they are the same exact line, the System of equations has Infinite solutions.

(A) Let's solve for "y" from the first equation:

3x-2y=-1\\\\-2y=-3x-1\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

You can notice that:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=\frac{1}{2}

In order make that the System has No solutions, the slopes must be the same, but the y-intercept must not. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

a=-6\\\\b=4

Substituting those values into the second equation and solving for "y", you get:

-6x+4y=-2\\\\4y=6x-2\\\\y=\frac{6}{4}x-{2}{4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

You can idenfity that:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, they are parallel.

(B) In order make that the System has Infinite solutions, the slopes and the y-intercepts of both equations must be the same. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

a=6\\\\b=-4

If you substitute those values into the second equation and then you solve for "y", you get:

6x+(-4y)=-2\\\\-4y=-6x-2\\\\y=\frac{-6}{-4}x-\frac{2}{-4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

You can identify that:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\b=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, they are the same line.

Tom and Becky can paint Jim's fence together in 12 hours. If all people paint at the same rate, how many hours would it take to
Delvig [45]

Answer: 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time taken by each person to paint the fence.

Given: Tom and Becky can paint Jim's fence together in 12 hours.

Since all people paint at the same rate, then we have the following equation ;-

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{2}{x}=\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=24

Thus, the time taken by each person to paint the fence alone = 24 hours

Now, the time taken by all three paint together:-

\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{24}+\dfrac{1}{24}+\dfrac{1}{24}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3}{24}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{24}{3}=8\text{ hours}

Hence, it would take 8 hours if all three paint together.

Which is bigger, a third of 45 or one-sixth c<br> 138?
Ksju [112]

Applying the knowledge of fractions, the bigger one is: one-sixth of 138.

<h3>What are Fractions?</h3>

Fractions can be defined as a part of a digit or number, and are not whole numbers. For example, a third is 1/3, one-sixth is 1/6, which are both fractions.

Therefore, let's evaluate each statement:

1/3 of 45 = 1/3 × 45 = 15

1/6 of 138 = 1/6 × 138 = 23

Therefore, the bigger of the two is: one-sixth of 138.
