How many solutions does this linear system have y= 1/2x+4 x+2y=-8

Mathematics

1 answer:

lara [203]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/2x + 4

x + 2y = -8

Solve the second equation for y.

2y = -x - 8

y = -1/2x - 4

The two equations in slope-intercept form are:

y = 1/2x + 4

y = -1/2x - 4

The system consists of two lines with different slopes, so they intercept at a single point which is the solution.

Answer: 1 solution

Sam needs 7 1/2 cups of orange juice to make punch for a group of her friends. She only has 5 1/3 cups. Write and solve an equat

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Equation is $x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}$ where $x$ denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

$x=\frac{13}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

Number of cups needed to make punch $=7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2}$

Number of cups with Sam $=5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}$

Therefore,

$x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}\\\\x= \frac{15}{2}-\frac{16}{3}\\\\x=\frac{45-32}{6}\\\\x=\frac{13}{6}$

Choose the correct simplification of a5b6/a4b4

NemiM [27]

The Answer is a b¹⁰

Simplify the following:
(a^5 b^6 b^4)/a^4

Combine powers. (a^5 b^6 b^4)/a^4 = a^(5 - 4) b^(6 + 4):
a^(5 - 4) b^(6 + 4)

5 - 4 = 1:
a b^(6 + 4)

6 + 4 = 10:
Answer: a b^10
