Answer:
a = 8
b ≠ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 7
2y = ax + b
For there to be no solution, the lines (if graphed) should be parallel meaning that their slopes are equal but the y-intercepts are different
y = mx +b is the equation of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Multiply the first equation by 2
2y = 8x - 14
2y = ax + b
So a has to equal 8
b can be anything except 14 (otherwise the lines would be the same)
Answer:
Option D. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The initial value of the function is the y-intercept, so is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero
In this problem observing the table
For x=0
The value of y is equal to y=5
therefore
The initial value is 5
3 if 5 times a number plus two is 17, then we can say 5x+2=17 if we subtract two on each side we have 5x=15, divide each side by 5 and you get x=3 so your answer is 3
Write it out as a set of equation:
Let x be number of 8 cent stamps, y be 10 cent stamps, and z be 2 cent stamps.
x=y
z=x+y
8x+10y+2z=440
Lets first solve for x:
from x=y and z=2x(from first equation) the last equation is
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=20
know that x=20, you also know that y=20 as well, since z=x+y, z=40.
So 20 8-cent stamps, 20 10-cent stamps, and 40 2-cent stamps.
