1. 4x + 8y = 12....divide by 4
x + 2y = 3
2y = -x + 3
y = -1/2x + 3/2...slope is -1/2, y int is 3/2

x + 2y = -3
2y = -x - 3
y = -1/2x - 3/2...slope is -1/2 and y int is -3/2

when the slopes are the same, and the y int are different, then the lines are parallel and never intersect...so they have no solution and are inconsistent
=================
2. y = 2x - 1...slope is 2 and y int is -1
y = -2x + 5 ...slope is -2 and y int is 5
when the slopes are different and the y int are different, then there is 1 solution making it independent
=================
3. 4x - 12y = 8...divide by 4
x - 3y = 2
same as other equation meaning the equations are the same line...meaning they have infinite solutions making them dependent

If 5 + 20 times 2 Superscript 2 minus 3 x Baseline = 10 times 2 Superscript negative 2 x Baseline + 5, what is the value of x? –

Answer:

<h3>Option D) 3 is correct</h3><h3>Therefore the value of x is 3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5$

<h3>To find the value of x :</h3>

First solving the given equation we have,

$5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5$

$5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}-5=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5-5$

$20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$20\times (2)^2.(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$20\times 4.(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$80(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$\frac{80}{10}(2)^{-3x}=\frac{10\times (2)^{-2x}}{10}$

$8(2)^{-3x}=(2)^{-2x}$

$\frac{(2)^{-3x}}{(2)^{-2x}}=\frac{1}{8}$

$(2)^{-3x}.(2)^{2x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $\frac{1}{a^{-m}}=a^m$ )

$2^{-3x+2x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$ )

$2^{-x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$

$\frac{1}{2^x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ )

Since bases are same so powers are same

Therefore we can equate the powers we get x=3

<h3>Therefore the value of x is 3</h3><h3>Option D) 3 is correct</h3>

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 16

x - y = 14 add the equations

--------------

2x = 30

x = 15

x + y = 16

15 + y = 16

y = 1

the numbers are 15 and 1
