No false.
Remember the solution(s) to a system of equations is where the graphs all intersect if at all.
For the case of say a system of 2 lines, you can see the different possible outcomes..
-- If the two lines intersect at some point (x,y), that is one unique solution
-- If the two lines are parallel to each other, you see there are no intersection points and therefore this system of two parallel lines has no solutuion.
-- If the two lines overlap, really the same line written as a multiple of the other line, then you see they intersect at all points along the line, here there are infinite solutions.
There would be 32 men in the dance recital.
24/3 = 8
8 times 4 = 32
24/32 = 3/4
24y*z^5/32y^2*z
24/32 = 3/4
y/y^2 = 1/y
z^5/z = z^4/1
Soo now that they are all simplified the answer is 3z^4/4y
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
