Answer:

infinite solution

Step-by-step explanation:

hello

we substitute b = 4a + 2 in the second expression

12a -3*(4a+2) = -6

<=> 12a -12a -6 = -6

<=> -6 = -6

which is always true

so there is infinite solution

hope this helps

A frame designer is making a triangular frame. She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches. What are the possible length

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above question, we have a rule, the sum of the length of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Hence:

She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches

Let the third side = x

Hence:

a) 18 + 27 > x

45 > x

b) 18 + x > 27

x > 27 - 18

x > 9

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y - 3x = 1

2y - x = 12

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

y - 3x = 1

Add 3x on both sides: y = 3x + 1

Step 3: Redefine Systems

y = 3x + 1

2y - x = 12

Step 4: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y: 2(3x + 1) - x = 12
Distribute 2: 6x + 2 - x = 12
Combine like terms: 5x + 2 = 12
Isolate x term: 5x = 10
Isolate x: x = 2

Step 5: Solve for y

Define equation: 2y - x = 12
Substitute in x: 2y - 2 = 12
Isolate y term: 2y = 10
Isolate y: y = 5

Please help this hurts

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

6x - 11y = -13 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's plug in the points to see what sticks.

Start with (-4, -1)

1) 11x - 6y = 11(-4) - 6(-1) = -44 + 6 = -38 $\neq$ 13

2) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13

3) 6x - 7y = 6(-4) - 7(-1) = -24 + 7 = -17 $\neq$ 17

4) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13 $\neq$ 13

The only one that fits is #2. Let's try the other point to be sure.

2) 6x - 11y = 6(1.5) - 11(2) = 9 - 22 = -13
