If by "coincide", in other words this is also known as intersect, it means that the solution to the system is that intersection point. For instance, if the intersection point of the 2 lines is (5,7) on the graph, it means that in both equations, x = 5 and y = 7. If you mean that the 2 equations result in the same line, it means that the 2 equations were really equal, but that one could be basic to be identical with the other. For example, if you have 2x + 2y = 8 and 4x + 4y = 16, they will give you the same line, and you can see that if you divide that second equation by 2 all the way crossways, it merely shows the first equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-21+20=12+2x-6
3x-1= 6+2x
3x-2x=6+1
x=7
Answer:
It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.
Step-by-step explanation:
- One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
- Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
- Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
- If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
- They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
- This is 1 minute 12 seconds
