Let x represent the number.
.. x^2 +x = 2
.. x^2 +x +1/4 = 9/4 . . . . add 1/4 to complete the square
.. x +1/2 = ±3/2 . . . . . . . .square root
.. x = -2, 1

Numbers meeting that requirement are -2 and 1.

Question

Zielflug [23.3K]

Convert the 6 seconds to hours:

5 seconds x x 1/60 ( minutes per seconds) x 1/60 (Hours per minute) = 6/3600 = 1/600 hours.

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 585 x 1/600 = 585/600 = 0.975 miles

Convert miles to feet:

0.975 x 5280 = 5,148 feet

The plane traveled 5,148 feet in 6 seconds.

Give a geometric description of the following system of equations.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6y=−15.b. 2x−4y=12 −5x+3y=10.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6

Reptile [31]

Answer:

a. No solution, parallel lines.

b. One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

a. $2x-4y=12$

$-3x+6y=-15$

b. $2x-4y=12$

$-5x+3y=10$

To give a geometric description of the given system of equations.

The geometric description of a system of equations in 2 variables mean the system of equations will represent the number of lines equal to the number of equations in the system given.

i.e.

Number of planes = Number of variables

Number of lines = Number of equations in the system.

Here, we are given 2 variables and 2 equation in each system.

So, they can be represented in the xy-coordinates plane.

And the number of solutions to the system depends on the following condition.

Let the system of equations be:

$A_1x+B_1y+C_1=0\\A_2x+B_2y+C_2=0$

1. One solution:

There will be one solution to the system of equations, If we have:

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$

2. Infinitely Many Solutions: (Identical lines in the system)

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}= \dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

3. No Solution:(Parallel lines)

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

Now, let us discuss the system of equations one by one:

a. $2x-4y=12$ OR $2x-4y-12=0$

$-3x+6y=-15$ OR $-3x+6y+15=0$

$A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -3, B_2 = 6, C_2= 15$

Here, the ratio:

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

Therefore, no solution i.e. parallel lines.

b. $2x-4y=12$ OR $2x-4y-12=0$

$-5x+3y=10$ OR $-5x+3y-10=0$

$A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -5, B_2 = 3, C_2 = -10$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}= -\dfrac{2}{5}\\\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{4}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{6}{5}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$

So, one solution.

Kindly refer to the images attached for the graphical representation of the given system of equations.

William earns $13 an hour working at a movie theater last week he worked h hours at the concession stand and three times as many

maw [93]

I think the expression for that is 13 • h • 3 because he gets $13 per hour and we don't know how many hours he worked so we would just put a variable and then he worked three times as many hours so multiply by 3. I might be wrong but hopefully it helps
