Answer:
one point
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of two linear equations will have one point in the solution set if the slopes of the lines are different.
__
When the equations are written in the same form, the ratio of x-coefficient to y-coefficient is related to the slope. It will be different if there is one solution.
- ratio for first equation: 1/1 = 1
- ratio for second equation: 1/-1 = -1
These lines have <em>different slopes</em>, so there is one solution to the system of equations.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
When the equations are in slope-intercept form with the y-coefficient equal to 1, the x-coefficient is the slope.
y = mx +b . . . . . slope = m
When the equations are in standard form (as in this problem), the ratio of x- to y-coefficient is the opposite of the slope.
ax +by = c . . . . . slope = -a/b
As long as the equations are in the same form, the slopes can be compared by comparing the ratios of coefficients.
__
If the slopes are the same, the lines may be either parallel (empty solution set) or coincident (infinite solution set). When the equations are in the same form with reduced coefficients, the lines will be coincident if they are the same equation.
Answer:
84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets how many how to change oz to cup
- One cup contains 8 oz
- We can use the ratio to solve this problem
- A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h
- We need to find how many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks
∵ The rate of the water leak out is 2 oz/hr
∵ 1 cup contains 8 oz
∴ 1 oz =
cup
∴ 2 oz = 2 ×
=
=
cup
∴ The rate of the water leak out =
cup/h
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∵ 1 week = 7 days
∴ 1 week = 7 × 24 = 168 hours
∵ The number of hours in 1 week is 168
∴ The number of hours in 2 weeks = 168 × 2 = 336 hours
⇒ cups : hours
⇒
: 1
⇒ x : 336
- By using cross multiplication
∴ x = 336 × 
∴ x = 84
- x represents the number of cups of water leak out
<em>84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks</em>
Answer:
0.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
2,000 people tested the new shampoo.
4 people had a mild allergic reaction.
4 is what percentage of 2,000?
0.2 percent.
(2,000 = %99.8)
He can make 32 sandwiches. Since he uses 1/8 pound of cheese for each sandwich, he can make 8 sandwiches using 1 pound of cheese (1/8 x 8 = 1). Now that you know he can make 8 sandwiches with 1 pound of cheese, multiply 8 (this is the sandwiches) by 4 (pounds of cheese).
