Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Isolate the x-term in the first equation:

     x-3y=4 -> x=3y+4

2. Substitute <em>3y+4</em> in for x in the second equation and solve

     2(3y+4)-6y=8 : Distribute the 2

     6y+8-6y=8 : Combine like terms

     8=8

3. Isolate the y-term in the first equation:

    x-3y=4 -> -3y=-x+4

 a. Solve for y:

       (-3y=-x+4)/-3 : Divide by -3

       y=(1/3)x-(4/3)

4. Substitute (1/3)x-(4/3) in for y in the second equation and solve:

     2x-6((1/3)x-(4/3))=8 : Distribute the -6

     2x-2x+8=8 : Combine like terms

     8=8

Explanation:

When you solve a system of equations and get a true statement-

The lines are parallel.

Parallel lines will never intersect, so there is no solution.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the pair of equation has one or more than one solution then it is said to be consistent.

  • Only one solution , then independent system.
  • More than one solution , then dependent system.

if the pair of equation has no solution then it is said to be inconsistent.

Given : x - 3y = 4 ...[1]

2x - 6y = 8 ...[2]

Solution :

Solving equations with the help of Substituting methods:

x - 3y = 4

x = 4 +3y

Putting value of x from [1] in [2]:

2(4+3y)-6y=8

8+6y-6y=8

6y=6y

0 = 0

Given , system of equation will have infinite solution. Hence consistent and dependent.

The given system of equations will have infinite solutions.

How do I simplify a fraction? For example if the question is 7 1/5 divided by 2 2/15 what would I do to simplify?
Westkost [7]
7 1/5:
Multiply the denominator and the whole number: 7*5 = 35 and then add the numerator: 35+1= 36/5. Then, do this for the following fraction, the improper fraction value of 2 2/15 is 32/15.
Now we need 36/5 & 32/15 to have common denominators so that we can simplify it a little less complicated.

For Instance,

36/5*3= 108/15

Now we divide, (108/15)/(32/15)
108/32= 3.375 = 3 3/8

Answer is 3 3/8.

Hope this was easy to understand!

A sample was taken of the salaries of four employees from a large company. the following are their salaries, in thousands of dol
Free_Kalibri [48]

For given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars

The formula for the variance is,

S^2=\frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}

where,

S^2 = sample variance

x_i = the value of the one observation

\bar{x} = the mean value of all observations

n = the number of observations

For given question,

n = 4

First we find the mean of their salaries.

(33 + 31 + 24 + 36 ) / 4 = 31

So, \bar{x}=31

Using the formula for variance ,

S^2=\frac{(33-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(31-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(24-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(36-31)^2}{4-1}\\\\ S^2=\frac{4}{3}  + \frac{0}{3} + \frac{49}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \\\\S^2= \frac{4+49+25}{3}\\\\S^2=\frac{78}{3}  \\\\S^2=26

Therefore, for given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars
