Answer:

A = 6, B = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for there to be infinitely many solutions, the equations must be dependent. That is, one of them must be a multiple of the other. Here, the multiplier is apparently -1.

Comparing coefficients on the left, we see that the bottom equation has an x-coefficient that is the opposite of the one in the top equation. So, to make y-coefficients opposite, the top equation should read ...

4x -6y = 15 . . . . . A = 6

Carrying that through, the bottom equation should read ...

-4x +6y = -15 . . . . . B = -15

B. $\dfrac{16}{25}=0.64$ or 64%

C. 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The county-fair prize wheel has equally spaced sections with the following colors: 1 is golden, 2 are silver, 3 are green, 4 are blue, 6 are red, and 9 are yellow, 25 sections in total.

A. The probability of landing on gold is

$P_1=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}=\dfrac{1}{25}=0.04$
