Answer:

  • dependent system
  • x = 2 -a
  • y = 1 +a
  • z = a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by eliminating z, then we'll go from there.

Add 6 times the second equation to the first.

  (3x -3y +6z) +6(x +2y -z) = (3) +6(4)

  9x +9y = 27 . . . simplify

  x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 9 [eq4]

Add 13 times the second equation to the third.

  (5x -8y +13z) +13(x +2y -z) = (2) +13(4)

  18x +18y = 54

  x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 18 [eq5]

Equations [eq4] and [eq5] are identical. This tells us the system is dependent, and has an infinite number of solutions. We can find them in terms of z:

  y = 3 -x . . . . solve eq5 for y

  x +2(3 -x) -z = 4 . . . . substitute into the second equation

  -x +6 -z = 4

  x = 2 - z . . . . . . add x-4

  y = 3 -(2 -z)

  y = z +1

So far, we have written the solutions in terms of z. If we use the parameter "a", we can write the solutions as ...

  x = 2 -a

  y = 1 +a

  z = a

_____

<em>Check</em>

First equation:

  3(2-a) -3(a+1) +6a = 3

  6 -3a -3a -3 +6a = 3 . . . true

Second equation:

  (2-a) +2(a+1) -a = 4

  2 -a +2a +2 -a = 4 . . . true

Third equation:

  5(2-a) -8(a+1) +13a = 2

  10 -5a -8a -8 +13a = 2 . . . true

Our solution checks algebraically.

Tony:

3 Packs = 12 dollars

1 Pencil Box = 7 dollars


Mario:

4 Binders = 24 dollars

-6.


12+7= 19

24-6=18

Y=-×+1 and y=2×+4 how many solutions when graphed
dedylja [7]

Answer:

One solution (-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two linear equations have different slopes, different y-intercepts, and are indeed linear, these equations will only have one crossing when graphed, and hence one solution.

To find that solution, we can simply set the equations equal to each other.

y = -x + 1

y = 2x + 4

-x + 1 = 2x + 4

-3 = 3x

-1 = x

Now plug that value back into one of the equations:

y = -x + 1

y = -(-1) + 1

y = 2

So now you know the crossing for these two equations occurs at (-1,2).

Cheers.
