<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions  of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

oee [108]

The answer is e = -2

I hope this helped! If so, please mark brainliest!

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  2e + 4  =   2 • (e + 2)  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    e+2 = 0  

Subtract  2  from both sides of the equation :  

                     e = -2

Suppose x represents an objects weight on Earth. Write two expressions: one that you can use to find the objects weight on Mars
tatyana61 [14]
The weight of an object is the product of its mass and the acceleration of gravity.
If g[e] is the acceleration of gravity on earth, and g[M] the same for Mars and g[m] the same for the moon,
then m[M]=m[e]g[M]/g[e] and m[m]=m[e]g[m]/g[e] where m[ ] denotes mass. Note that weight=mg (measured in newtons) while mass is in kilograms.
If g[M]=g[e]/3 and g[m]=g[e]/6 approximately. Then the weight of an object on Mars will be about a third of what it is on earth, while on the moon it would be about a sixth of what it is on earth.

: Ruben put an empty cup underneath a leaking faucet. After 1 1 2 112 hours, Ruben had collected 1 4 14 cup of water. What is th
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The rate is \frac{1}{6} cups per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It took the faucet 1 1/2 hours equivalent 3/2 hours to fill 1/4 cup by leaking

We need to find the rate in terms of cups that can be filled by water in 1 hour.

Using unitary method:

it takes \frac{3}{2} h for \frac{1}{4} cup

it will take 1 h for how many cups?

= \frac{1 \times \frac{1}{4} }{\frac{3}{2} }= \frac{2}{4 \times 3}= \frac{2}{12}= \frac{1}{6} cups

Hence, the rate is \frac{1}{6} cups per hour

Construct an augmented matrix for this linear system: x − y − 4z = 5 2x 2z = 0 4x y z = 3.
Crazy boy [7]

The augmented matrix is,

\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&-4&|&5\\2&0&2&|&0\\4&1&1&|&3\end{array}\right)

We have given system of linear equation is,

x - y - 4z = 5,2x + 2z = 0 ,4x +y +z = 3.

<h3>What is the meaning of augmented matrix?</h3>

In an augmented matrix, each row represents one equation in the system and each column represents coefficients (with signs) of variables or the constant terms.

So, the first row is

1\ -1\ -4\ 5

the second row is

2\ 0\ 2\ 0

and the third row is

4\ 1\ 1\ 3

Therefore the augmented matrix for this linear system is,

\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&-4&|&5\\2&0&2&|&0\\4&1&1&|&3\end{array}\right)
