What will a and b have to be to make the equation have no solution? ax + 6 = 2x + b

Mathematics

Answer:

a=2, b=7 (fourth option)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you subtract the 2x from both sides, you are left with 0 x's. Then when you subtract the 6 from both sides, you are left with -1. So you will have 0= -1, which does not make sense meaning the answer is no solution. When inserting the other options into the equation, they all solve for x. Hope this helps!

One-third of a number t is equal to 7. Write the word sentence as an equation then solve

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One third of the number can be represented by 1/3t.

To make an equation, set this equal to 7.

1/3t = 7

Then, solve for t by dividing each side by 1/3:

1/3t = 7

t = 21

So, the number is 21.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Match the pairs of equivalent expressions.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The following pairs/results are matched:

$5\left(2t+1\right)+\left(-7t+28\right)$ = $3t+33$
$3\left(3t-4\right)-\left(2t+10\right)$ = $7t-22$

$\left(4t-\frac{8}{5}\right)-\left(3-\frac{4}{3}t\right)$ = $\frac{16t}{3}-\frac{23}{5}$

$\left(-\frac{9}{2}t+3\right)+\left(\frac{7}{4}t+33\right)$ = $-\frac{11}{4}t+36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve all the expressions to match the results.

$5\left(2t+1\right)+\left(-7t+28\right)$

Solving the expression

$5\left(2t+1\right)+\left(-7t+28\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$5\left(2t+1\right)-7t+28$

$10t+5-7t+28$

$3t+33$

Therefore, $5\left(2t+1\right)+\left(-7t+28\right)$ = $3t+33$

$3\left(3t-4\right)-\left(2t+10\right)$

Solving the expression

$3\left(3t-4\right)-\left(2t+10\right)$

$9t-12-\left(2t+10\right)$

$9t-12-2t-10$

$7t-22$

Therefore, $3\left(3t-4\right)-\left(2t+10\right)$ = $7t-22$

$\left(4t-\frac{8}{5}\right)-\left(3-\frac{4}{3}t\right)$

Solving the expression

$\left(4t-\frac{8}{5}\right)-\left(3-\frac{4}{3}t\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a$

$4t-\frac{8}{5}-\left(3-\frac{4}{3}t\right)$

$4t-\frac{8}{5}-\left(-\frac{4t}{3}+3\right)$

$4t-\frac{8}{5}-3+\frac{4t}{3}$

$-3-\frac{8}{5}:\quad -\frac{23}{5}$ and $\frac{4t}{3}+4t:\quad \frac{16t}{3}$

So,

$4t-\frac{8}{5}-3+\frac{4t}{3}$ will become $\frac{16t}{3}-\frac{23}{5}$

Therefore, $\left(4t-\frac{8}{5}\right)-\left(3-\frac{4}{3}t\right)$ = $\frac{16t}{3}-\frac{23}{5}$

$\left(-\frac{9}{2}t+3\right)+\left(\frac{7}{4}t+33\right)$

Solving the expression

$\left(-\frac{9}{2}t+3\right)+\left(\frac{7}{4}t+33\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a$

$-\frac{9}{2}t+3+\frac{7}{4}t+33$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}$

$\frac{9}{2}t+\frac{7}{4}t+3+33$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:-\frac{9}{2}t+\frac{7}{4}t=-\frac{11}{4}t$

$-\frac{11}{4}t+3+33$

$-\frac{11}{4}t+36$

Therefore, $\left(-\frac{9}{2}t+3\right)+\left(\frac{7}{4}t+33\right)$ = $-\frac{11}{4}t+36$

Thus, the following pairs/results are matched:

$5\left(2t+1\right)+\left(-7t+28\right)$ = $3t+33$
$3\left(3t-4\right)-\left(2t+10\right)$ = $7t-22$

$\left(4t-\frac{8}{5}\right)-\left(3-\frac{4}{3}t\right)$ = $\frac{16t}{3}-\frac{23}{5}$

$\left(-\frac{9}{2}t+3\right)+\left(\frac{7}{4}t+33\right)$ = $-\frac{11}{4}t+36$

How manys days makes a leap year?

dem82 [27]

Answer: In an ordinary year, if you were to count all the days in a calendar from January to December, you'd count 365 days. But approximately every four years, February has 29 days instead of 28. So, there are 366 days in the year. This is called a leap year.
