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.

Kristy asks lonnie of a number add 3 to it multiply the sum by 2 and then subtract 6.Let n stand for Lonnies number.What express
Lera25 [3.4K]
<h2>Answer :</h2>

Let the number be x. Then according to the question,

Step 1 :- Adding 3

=> x + 3

Step 2 :- Multiply the sum by 2

=> 2×(x + 3)

Step 3 :- Subtract 6

=> 2(x +3) - 6

<h3>Thus the expression becomes 2(x +3) - 6. </h3>

Danny bought 5 Pes to $0.30 each six pencils at $0.25 since in The Notebook for $3 and the tax is $8 how much did he pay will ma
Paha777 [63]
The answer is 14. This is because 0.30 multiplied by 5 is 1.5. Then 6 multiplied by 0.25 is 1.5 as well. Adding these two together is 3. 3 plus 3 for the notebook is 6. Than 6 plus 8 dollar tax is 14 dollars.

Last week, Leon bought 8 pizzas and 13 cakes
romanna [79]
P = pizza and c =cakes

Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220

Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.

4c = 220 - 28p

Now divide each side by 4

c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p

Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p

8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134

Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134

Let’s add 83p to each side.

715 = 134 + 83p

Subtract 134 from each side

581 = 83p

Divide each side by 83

p = $7
