266.4 - 8.5 - 24 will give you the answer of 233.9
Answer: C) 0
The lines are parallel. They never cross. To have a solution, the lines need to intersect. Each intersection is a solution. That's why there are no solutions here. The system is inconsistent.
Note how the slopes are both 1/2 while the y intercepts are different. Parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts.
Answer: y=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
If the slope is zero that means that the line does not go up (or have any rise) and therefore must be a horizontal line. Since it passes through the point (3,-8), the equation has to be y=-8.
Answer: b
Step-by-step explanation:
In the last question, you wrote on a second equation "13x ...." kkk
Let's go:
We have to check each one answer in the following system:
x - 2y = 7
3x + 7y = 8
I can use the substituition method to solve this system...
x = 7 + 2y
3x + 7y = 8
3(7 + 2y) + 7y = 8
21 + 6y + 7y = 8
13y = 8 - 21
13y = -13
y = -1
x = 7 + 2.(-1)
x = 5
Finally, the correct answer is the second one (letter b).
