Answer:

Kevin is correct because you have to solve for two variables x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Katy is wrong because there's only one variable which is x.

Answer:Kathy is correct

Step-by-step explanation: We need to solve both equations separately in order to determine with certainty which one is correct and which one is not.

Kevin thinks the new equation should be

3(6x-1) + 2y = 43

This can now be solved as follows;

18x - 3 + 2y = 43

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

18x - 3 + 3 + 2y = 43 + 3

18x + 2y = 46

2(9x + y) = 46 (factorize the left hand side of the equation by 2)

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

9x + y = 46

The variables remain unsolved

On the other hand, Kathy thinks the new equation should be

3x + 2(6x - 1) = 43

This can now be solved as follows;

3x + 12x - 2 = 43

Collect like terms (in this equation, x)

15x - 2 = 43

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

15x - 2 + 2 = 43 + 2

15x = 45

Divide both sides of the equation by 15

x = 3

In essence, Kathy's equation has a solution (x=3) while that of Kevin remains unsolved

(3x-5)/(x-5)&gt;=0 <br> How do I get the answers for this problem?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
\frac{3x-5}{x-5} > 0 

First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3x-5}{x-5} = 0
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{5}{3}
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test: 
x < \frac{5}{3}
\frac{5}{3} < x < 5
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval. 

1. For the interval x < \frac{5}{3} :
Let's pick x - 0. Then, \frac{3x0-5}{0-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.

2. For the interval \frac{5}{3} < x < 5:
Let's pick x = 2. Then, \frac{3x2-5}{2-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.

3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then, \frac{3x6-5}{6-5} > 0
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x < \frac{5}{3} and x > 5

Answer: x < \frac{5}{3} and x > 5
