Answer:

D = 4, Z = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

6D+3Z = 96

5D+4Z = 116

multiply top by 5 and bottom by -6

top equation = 30D+15Z = 480

bottom equation = -30D-24Z = -696

Cancel 30D and -30 D

top equation  = 15Z = 480

Bottom equation = -24Z = -696

15Z - 24 Z = 480 - 696

-9Z = 216

Z = 216/9

Z = 24

Now that we have the value of Z, we can substitute it in any equation to find D

6D + 3(24) = 96

6D + 72 = 96

6D = 96 - 72

6D = 24

D = 24/6

D = 4

Which of the following best describes the solution to the system of equations below?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

Solve for y from each equation:

\left \{ {{5y=-4x+7} \atop {10y=-8x+14}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-8}{10}x+\frac{14}{10}}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}}} \right.

As you can see the slope and the y-intercept of each equation are equal, this means that both are the exact same line. Therefore, you can conclude that the system has infinitely many solutions.
