Answer:

y=-5/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the gradient whereas since the two lines are parallel they hav the same gradient. y=mx+c whereas m is the gradient. 5x+2y=12

2y=-5x+12

y=-5/2x+12(so the gradient is -5/2x..... <u>g</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>=</u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u>/</u><u>2</u>

<u>y</u><u>-</u><u>4</u>=-5/2

x+2

y-4=-5/2(x+2)

y-4=-5/2x-5

y=-5/2x-5+4

y=-5/2x-1

What is the maximum number of possible solutions for the system shown below?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is that of a an ellipse. The second equation is that of a line.

Attached is the graphs of both of these equations.

<em>If you think about it, there can only be 2 possible ways of solutions (intersection points) of an ellipse and a line.</em>

<em>1. The line will not intersect the ellipse at all, so no solution</em>

<em>2. The line will intersect the ellipse at 2 points maximum</em>

<em />

So, we can clearly see from the reasoning that the maximum number of possible solutions would be 2. The graph attached confirms this as well.

Simplify 18 - 2[x + (x - 5)].
MissTica
18 - 2[x + (x-5)]
First I would get rid of the inside parenthesis by distributing the + to everything inside and end up with;

18 - 2[x + x - 5]
Then I'd combine like terms inside the brackets
18 - 2[2x - 5]
Then I'd multiply what is inside the brackets by the -2
18 - 4x + 10
I'd combine like terms and end up with:

28 - 4x......or rewritten as -4x + 28
