Given:
The system of equations is
To find:
The true statement about the given system of equations.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is
Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We have,
On comparing these two lines with slope intercept form, we get
Since the slopes of the lines are equal but the y-intercepts are different, therefore, the two lines are parallel and the system has no solution.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
2 and 4 because they all multiply and add up to 12 and 20
Solve the equation:
5 3
x – —— = – ——
7 7
5
Add —— to both sides, so you get x isolated at the left-hand side:
7
5 5 3 5
x – —— + —— = – —— + ——
7 7 7 7
3 5
x = – —— + ——
7 7
Now, add those fractions at the right-hand side of the equation:
– 3 + 5
x = —————
7
2
x = —— <——— this is the answer (first option: 2/7).
7
I hope this helps. =)
and
use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:
Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get
and divide both sides by 2
this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
