The ratio is 4/3 because you add AC which is 12 and then divided 9 (BC) by 12
There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)
There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.
How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.
The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope
(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2
The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is
(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2
The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.
Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.
Answer:
5x -8y
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2x-8y
3x and 2x are like terms so we can combine them
5x -8y
Answer: 13/3
Step-by-step explanation: TO turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, the best way is to multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number, then add the product to the numerator, then use that as the numerator of your new improper fraction, keeping the denominator the same.
>2 21/9
> 9*2 +21 =39
> 39/9
>13/3
