The correct answer is option A. Erica is correct in saying that the two lines are not necessarily the same and we should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. <span>Two lines with equal slopes could be the same line, but only if they have the same y-intercept.</span>
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 7 = x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )
2x - 7 = 15 ( add 7 to both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11
Start with the given equation:
Substitute known values:
Evaluate:
Similarly:
Isolate "x" onto one side:
5/3 * (6x+3) < 2x - 7
5(6x+3) < 3(2x-7)
30x + 15 < 6x - 21
24x < -36
x < -1.5
