Answer:

<h2>If we placed the number 10 in the box, we obtain a system of equations with infinitely many solutions.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

$y=2x-5\\2y-4x=a$

<em>It's important to know that a system with infinitely many solutions, it's a system that has the same equation</em>, that is, both equation represent the same line, or as some textbooks say, one line is on the other one, so they have inifinitely common solutions.

Having said that, the first thing we should do here is reorder the system

$y=2x-5\\2y=4x+a$

This way, you can compare better both equations. If you look closer, observe that the second equation is double, that is, it can be obtained by multiplying a factor of 2 to the first one, that is

$y=2x-5\\2y=4x-10$

So, by multiplying such factor, we obtaine the second equation. Observe that $a$ must be equal to 10, that way the system would have infinitely solutions.

Therefore, the answer is 10.

What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form?

masha68 [24]

Answer:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the line crosses the y axis at 0,0 the intercept is +0 or just nothing.

now all we need to do is find the slope

to do that just go from the y intercept (the first point) y units up and x units over untill u cross at the next point. for examples from (0, 0) to (1, 8)-the next point- i need to go up 8 units up and 1 unit over. this is described as rise over run and that is your slope 8/1 rise/run. rise is how many units i go up (or down) from the y intercept until the next point that lies on the line and run is how far i need to go over from how many units i just went up. If u continue to go 8 up and 1 over from each point u will see that u get a point lying of the line. This is why 8/1 is your slope

8/1 is the slope and 0,0 is your y intercept so we put nothing

the equation is y=8x

When solving a system of equations by substitution, what is meant by a useless result (12=12)?. a.. parallel lines. c.. inconsis

Montano1993 [528]

<span>When solving a system of equations by substitution, meant by a useless result of (12=12) is no solution. The answer is letter B, the equation has no solution because it can have infinite solution. I hope the answer helps, thank you for posting your question here. </span>

Which statements must be true?

Lorico [155]

Take a look at the picture and note that the same tick marks represent that they are congruent parts.

A. UV is parallel to JL. Yes, this is correct. They are parallel because they don't intersect at any point.

B. UW = 12KL. This is incorrect. The truth is, UW = (1/2)(KL). If this is a typo error and there should've been a '/' in between 1 and 2, then this is acceptable.

C. UW = VW. As you can see, UKVW is a rectangle. They have two pairs of congruent sides. And UW≠VW, so this is incorrect.

D. UV = UK. The diagonal of a rectangle is never equal with one of its sides. So, this is incorrect.

E. JK = 2VW. Since VW=UK and we can see that twice the length of UK is equal to JK, then this is correct.

Let p=x^2+6

stepan [7]

That's a bit of a nasty. Where ever you see (x^2 + 6) you put in p.
p^2 - 21 = 4(x^2 + 6)
p^2 - 21 = 4p
p^2 - 4p - 21 = 0

A <<<< answer.
