6x - 9 = a (3x + 2) What value of a would result in an equation that has no solutions for x?

Mathematics

Umnica [9.8K]4 years ago

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x - 9 = a(3x + 2)

If the coefficient of the x- term on the right side is 6 then the equation will have no solution, that is if a = 2, then

6x - 9 = 2(3x + 2) = 6x + 4 ( add 9 to both sides )

6x = 6x + 13 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

0 = 13 ← not possible

Thus equation has no solution when a = 2

Two sides of a triangle measure 17 inches and 20 inches. Which CANNOT be the length of the remainig side?
yaroslaw [1]
<h3>Answer:  37</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

We have a triangle with sides a,b,c such that

  • a = 17
  • b = 20
  • c = unknown

The third side c can be represented by this inequality

b-a < c < b+a

which is a modified form of the triangle inequality theorem.

Plug in the given values to get

b-a < c < b+a

20-17 < c < 20+17

3 < c < 37

The third side length is between 3 and 37; it cannot equal 3, and it cannot equal 37. So we exclude both endpoints.

Of the answer choices, the values {7,20, 12} are in the range 3 < c < 37.

The value c = 37 is not in the range 3 < c < 37 because we can't have the third side equal to either endpoint. Otherwise, we get a straight line instead of a triangle forming.

So that's why 37 is the only possible answer here.

Michelle is fishing from a small boat. A fish swimming at the same depth as the hook at the end of her fishing line is 16 meters
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the inverse of the pythagorean theorem to do this so you do square root of (20x20-16x16) which is 12
