A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
Answer:
in 220 miles both plans will cost the same
Step-by-step explanation:
38 + .12m = 49 + .07m
38 + .05m = 49
.05m = 11
m = 11/.05
Answer:
x = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are vertical angles, the angles are congruent and therefore you can set them equal to each other.
4x + 20 = 3x + 55
Have x on one side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides.
x + 20 = 55
Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation.
x = 35
Answer:
y = 1874.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4y - 5) = 14 983
2*4y + 2*-5 = 14983
8y - 10 = 14983
8y = 14983 + 10
8y = 14993
y = 14993/8
y = 1874.25
