5x+ay=2 \\
bx+3y=8

Write it in the y=mx+b form.

ay=-5x+2 \\
3y=-bx+8 \\ \\
y=-\frac{5}{a}x+\frac{2}{a} \\
y=-\frac{b}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}

The system will be inconsistent when the equations describe two parallel lines.
Two lines are parallel when their slopes are identical.
-\frac{5}{a}=-\frac{b}{3} \\
ab=(-5) \times (-3) \\
ab=15

Also they can't be the same line, so the y-intercepts must be different.
\frac{2}{a} \not= \frac{8}{3} \\
8a \not= 2 \times 3 \\
8a \not= 6 \\
a \not= \frac{6}{8} \\
a \not= \frac{3}{4}

So for every value of a and b such that ab=15 and a≠3/2 this system of equations is inconsisent.

It can be:
5x+5y=2 \\
3x+3y=8
or
5x+15y=2 \\
x+3y=8
or
5x+\frac{1}{2}y=2 \\
30x+3y=8
etc.

X^2-5x-8=0 find the roots (zeros)
melomori [17]

Answer:

             x_1=\dfrac{5-\sqrt{57}}{2}\ ,\quad x_2=\dfrac{5+\sqrt{57}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-5x-8=0\\\\a=1\,,\ b=-5\,,\ c=-8\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-8)}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{25+32}}{2}=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{57}}{2}

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

180 minutes to cook 9lb turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to cook a 9lb turkey be x.

Using proportions,

6/120 = 9/x

6x = 120 x 9

6x = 1080

x = 1080/6

x = 180

The number line shows the graph of an inequality:
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Yes, it can, because -4.5 lies to the left of -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The solution of the inequality is equal to the interval------> (-∞,-3.5)

All real numbers less than -3.5

x<-3.5

Substitute in the inequality

-4.5<-3.5 ------> is true

therefore

The number -4.5 is a value in the shaded region, because lies to the left of -3.5
