3x - 6y = 20
-6y = -3x + 20
y = 1/2x - 20/6.....slope = 1/2...y int = -20/6 = -10/3

2x - 4y = 3
-4y = -2x + 3
y = 1/2x - 3/4..slope = 1/2...y int = -3/4

same slope, different y int = parallel lines = no solution = inconsistent

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is

3x-6y=20

2x-4y=3

If a system of equations has no solution, then the system of equations is inconsistent.

If a system of equations has solutions, then the system of equations is consistent.

(a) If the system has one solution, then it is independent.

(b) If the system has infinitely many solutions, then it is dependent.

If two lines are ax_1+by_1+c_2=0\text{ and }ax_2+by_2+c_2=0 and

\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}

then the system of equations is inconsistent.

\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{3}{2}

\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-6}{-4}=\frac{3}{2}

\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-20}{-3}=\frac{20}{3}

Since \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}, therefore the given system of equation is inconsistent.

Hence, the correct option is D.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (-5, 4)

B (4, 1)

Formula

slope  = m = \frac{1 - 4}{4 + 5}

m = \frac{-3}{9} = \frac{-1}{ 3}

Point slope

                 (y - 4) = \frac{-1}{3}(x + 5)

The ratio of two numbers is 1:4, and the sum of these numbers is 40. Find the numbers
Irina-Kira [14]
X + 4x = 40

5x = 40

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8


1x 8 = 8

4x 8 = 32

Check=

8 + 32 = 40

The numbers are 8 and 32

A certain company's main source of income is a mobile app. The company's annual profit (in millions of dollars) as a function of
liberstina [14]

Answer:

x = $3, or x = $11


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is P(x)=-2(x-3)(x-11)

where

  • P(x) is the profit, and
  • x is the app price

<u>We want app prices (x's) when profit (P(x)) is 0, so plugging in into the equation:</u>

P(x)=-2(x-3)(x-11)\\0=-2(x-3)(x-11)\\0=(x-3)(x-11)

<em>It means (x-3) = 0  OR  (x-11) = 0</em>

So, x = 3, or 11
