How many solutions for x does the following equation have? 2(x + 4) − 1 = 2x + 7

1 answer:

4vir4ik [10]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The equation has infinity solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2(x+4)-1=2x+7$

Applying distributive property left side

$2x+8-1=2x+7$

Combine like terms

$2x+7=2x+7$

The linear equation of the left side is equal to the linear equation of the right side

Both lines are identical

therefore

Is a consistent dependent system

The equation has infinity solutions

Lines k and n intersect on the y-axis

avanturin [10]

a) The equation of line k is:

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}$

b) The equation of line j is:

$y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}$

The equation of a line, in <u>slope-intercept formula</u>, is given by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Item a:

Line k intersects line m with an angle of 109º, thus:

$\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}$

In which $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the slopes of <u>k and m.</u>

Line k goes through points (-3,-1) and (5,2), thus, it's slope is:

$m_1 = \frac{2 - (-1)}{5 - (-3)} = \frac{3}{8}$

The tangent of 109 degrees is $\tan{109^{\circ}} = -\frac{29}{10}$
Thus, the slope of line m is found solving the following equation:

$\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}$

$-\frac{29}{10} = \frac{m_2 - \frac{3}{8}}{1 + \frac{3}{8}m_2}$

$m_2 - \frac{3}{8} = -\frac{29}{10} - \frac{87}{80}m_2$

$m_2 + \frac{87}{80}m_2 = -\frac{29}{10} + \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{167m_2}{80} = \frac{-202}{80}$

$m_2 = -\frac{202}{167}$

Thus:

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b$

It goes through point (-2,6), that is, when $x = -2, y = 6$ , and this is used to find b.

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b$

$6 = -\frac{202}{167}(-2) + b$

$b = 6 - \frac{404}{167}$

$b = \frac{6(167)-404}{167}$

$b = \frac{598}{167}$

Thus. the equation of line k, in slope-intercept formula, is:

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}$

Item b:

Lines j and k intersect at an angle of 90º, thus they are perpendicular, which means that the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Thus, the slope of line j is:

$-\frac{202}{167}m = -1$

$m = \frac{167}{202}$

Then

$y = \frac{167}{202}x + b$

Also goes through point (-2,6), thus:

$6 = \frac{167}{202}(-2) + b$

$b = \frac{(2)167 + 202(6)}{202}$

$b = \frac{1546}{202}$

The equation of line j is:

$y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}$
