Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
It is easiest to compare the equations when they are written in the same form.
The first set can be written in slope-intercept form.
y = 2x +7
y = 2x +7 . . . . add 2x
These equations are <em>identical</em>, so have infinitely many solutions.
__
The second set can be written in standard form.
y +4x = -5
y +4x = -10
These equations <em>differ only in their constant</em>, so have no solutions.
__
The third set is already written in slope-intercept form. The equations have <em>different slopes</em>, so have exactly one solution.
This should be recognized as the difference of perfect squares which is of the form:
(a^2-b^2) and the difference of squares always factors to:
(a-b)(a+b) in this case:
(3x-8)(3x+8)
Answer:
a. let x be the number of apples and let y be the number of oranges
x + y = 60
x = y + 12
b. Apples: 24 Oranges: 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Please let me know if you want me to add an explanation as to why this is the answer. I can definitely do that, I just don’t want to waste my time in case you don’t want me to :)
X+y=31.5
x-y=5.25
add 2 equations
x+y+x-y=31.5+5.25
2x=36.75
x=18.375
y=31.5-18.375=13.125
check : 18.375+13.125=31.5, 18.375-13.125=5.25
so
Answer:
18.375 and 13.125
