Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have the following linear equations:

y=3x+5

y=ax+b

We know that a linear equation is an equation for a line. In a system of linear equations, two or more equations work together.

1.  What values for a and b make the system inconsistent?

A system is inconsistent if and only if the lines are parallel in which case the system has no solution. This is illustrated in the first Figure bellow. Two lines are parallel if they share the same slope. So, the system is inconsistent for:

a=3

for any value of b

2. What values for a and b make the system consistent and dependent?

A system is consistent if and only if the lines are the same in which case the system has infinitely many solutions. This is illustrated in the second Figure bellow. So, the system is consistent and dependent for:

a=3 and b=5

Answer:

When a = 3 and b ≠ 5, the system will be inconsistent because the lines will be parallel. When a = 3 and b = 5, the system will be consistent and dependent because they represent the same line.

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.50 and adult admission is $9.70 . On Tuesday, four times as many adult tickets as ch
Rasek [7]
6.5c + 9.7a = 1721.4
a = 4c

6.5c + 9.7(4c) = 1721.4
6.5c + 38.8c = 1721.4
45.3c = 1721.4
c = 1721.4 / 45.3
c = 38...so there were 38 childrens' tickets <==
and 152 adult tickets

Four horses are pulling a wagon. Each horse drinks 45000 ml of water each day. How many liters of water will the horses drink in
s2008m [1.1K]

45000 x 4 = 180,000

180,000 * 5 = 900,000 ml in 5 days

1 liter = 1000 ml

900,000 / 1000 = 900 liters of water
