Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. re-write the given system:

cx+3y=c-3; => y= -cx/3 +(c-3)/3

12x+cy=c; => y= -12x/c+c/12

2. according the condition the rule for the parallel graphs is:

-c/3= -12/c

3. to calculate the unknown 'c':

c²=36; ⇔c=±6

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations:

cx + 3y = c - 3 ... (i)

12x + cy = c ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by c and (ii) by 3 gives;

c²x + 3cy = c² - 3c ... (i)

36x + 3cy = 3c ... (ii)

(i) - (ii) gives;

c²x - 36x + 0 = c² - 3c - 3c

c²x - 36x = c²

c²x - c² = 36x

c²(x - 1) = 36x

c² = \frac{36x}{x - 1}

If  c = -2 then;

(-2)² = 4 = \frac{36x}{x - 1} , 4x - 4 = 36x , 32x = -4 , x = -\frac{1}{8}

If c = 2  then;

2² = 4 = \frac{36x}{x - 1}  , 4x - 4 = 36x , 32x = -4 , x = -\frac{1}{8}

If c = 6 then;

6² = 36 = \frac{36x}{x - 1} , 36x - 36 = 36x, 36x - 36x = 36 , x (36 - 36) = 36 , x(0) = 36 , x =   \frac{36}{0} = undefined or infinitely many solutions.

Hence the system of equations given above will have infinitely many solutions if the value of c is 6.

After a 2 1/2 hour rainstorm, there are 5 inches of water in a bucket outside. What is the rate per inch?
xeze [42]

Answer:

2 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 hours is equivalent to 150 minutes.

Set up a proportion; let x equal inches of rain

\frac{5}{150}=\frac{x}{60}

Cross multiply -> 150x=300

Divide both sides by 150 to get -> x=2
