Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

9x+12y=21 -----> equation A

6x+8y=7b ----> equation B

we know that

If the system of equations have an infinite number of solutions then the equation A must be equal to the equation B

Multiply equation B by 1.5 both sides

1.5*[6x+8y[=7b*1.5

9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C

Compare equation A and equation C

9x+12y=21 -----> equation A

9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C

For the equations to be equal it must be fulfilled that

21=10.5b

solve for b

b=21/10.5

b=2

Math. Help much appreciated

First of all, expand the left hand side:

$4x+4 - 7 < 3x + 5$

Sum like terms:

$4x -3 < 3x + 5$

Add 3 to both sides:

$4x < 3x + 8$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$x < 8$

So this is the solution. Every number smaller than 8 (excluded) is part of the solution of this inequality.

Answer:

y=-1/5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides by 5: 1/5x+y=1

subtract 1/5x so y is alone since slope-intercept has y=mx+b: y=-1/5x+1
