No, 1/8 is smaller because 2/10 is equivalent to 1/5 and 1/5 is larger than 1/8.

19) Albert says that the two systems of equations shown have the same solutions.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

option A) Agree, because the solutions are the same is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST SYSTEM

$6x + y= 2$

$-x-y=-3$

solving the system

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+y=2\\ -x-y=-3\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}-x-y=-3\mathrm{\:by\:}6\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:-6x-6y=-18$

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+y=2\\ -6x-6y=-18\end{bmatrix}$

adding the equation

$-6x-6y=-18$

$+$

$\underline{6x+y=2}$

$-5y=-16$

so the system becomes

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+y=2\\ -5y=-16\end{bmatrix}$

solve -5y for y

$-5y=-16$

Divide both sides by -5

$\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-16}{-5}$

simplify

$y=\frac{16}{5}$

$\mathrm{For\:}6x+y=2\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}y=\frac{16}{5}$

$6x+\frac{16}{5}=2$

subtract 16/5 from both sides

$6x+\frac{16}{5}-\frac{16}{5}=2-\frac{16}{5}$

$6x=-\frac{6}{5}$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{-\frac{6}{5}}{6}$

$x=-\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, the solution to the FIRST SYSTEM is:

$x=-\frac{1}{5},\:y=\frac{16}{5}$

SECOND SYSTEM

$2x-3y = -10$

$-x-y=-3$

solving the system

$\begin{bmatrix}2x-3y=-10\\ -x-y=-3\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}-x-y=-3\mathrm{\:by\:}2\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:-2x-2y=-6$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x-3y=-10\\ -2x-2y=-6\end{bmatrix}$

$-2x-2y=-6$

$+$

$\underline{2x-3y=-10}$

$-5y=-16$

so the system of equations becomes

$\begin{bmatrix}2x-3y=-10\\ -5y=-16\end{bmatrix}$

solve -5y for y

$-5y=-16$

Divide both sides by -5

$\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-16}{-5}$

Simplify

$y=\frac{16}{5}$

$\mathrm{For\:}2x-3y=-10\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}y=\frac{16}{5}$

$2x-3\cdot \frac{16}{5}=-10$

$2x=-\frac{2}{5}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-\frac{2}{5}}{2}$

Simplify

$x=-\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, the solution to the SECOND SYSTEM is:

$x=-\frac{1}{5},\:y=\frac{16}{5}$

Conclusion:

As both systems of equations have the same solution.

Therefore, we conclude that Albert is right when says that the two systems of equations shown have the same solutions.

Hence, option A) Agree, because the solutions are the same is correct.

Which of the following equations is of a line that is parallel to y = 3x + 2? *

Stells [14]

Answer:

I don't see any answer choices, but read my explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Any line with a slope of 3 would be parallel to y=3x+2.

For example,

y=3x+4

y=3x-1

y=3x

All of these lines are parallel to the original equation
