Answer:

A) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines are parallel. This means they never intersect; since the solution to a system of equations is the point or points of intersection, this means there is no solution to this system.

Answer: A) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of first line = $y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4$

which can be written as : $2y=-x+8$

$x+2y=8$

The equation of second line = $y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-6$

which can be written as : $x+2y=-12$

Since , the ratio of the coefficients of x is equal to the ratio of the coefficients of y but not the ratio of the constants .

$\dfrac{1}{1}=\dfrac{2}{2}\neq\dfrac{8}{-12}$

Therefore , the lines are parallel and do not have any solution.

So , the correct answer is A) no solution.

How do you solve 5x-2y= 18 and -5x+3y= -22 by solving a system of linear equations by elimination? Please add the steps in which

MaRussiya [10]

Write the 2 equations:

5x-2y=18
-5x+3y=-22

You can see that the coefficients of x are opposites, so you can add them(the 2 equations) to eliminate x.

Adding them, you get:

y=-3

So now that you know y, you can substitute the value of y into one of the original equations. Let's substitute it in the first one:

5x+6=18

Solving this, we get:

5x=12
x=12/5

x=12/5, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the population is large enough to behave as a binomial distribution (between whites and non-whites), the probability of 12 out of 12 juros being white is:

$P(w=12) = p(w)^{12}$
