-2x - y = 1 (1st)

-4x - 2y  = -1 (2nd)

Multiply 1st equation by 2

-4x - 2y = 2

Now you have 2 new equations

-4x - 2y = 2

-4x - 2y = -1

----------------------Subtract

 0 ≠ 3

Answer: No solutions

Answer:  The correct option is

(B) no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the solution to the following system of equations :

-2x-y=1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\-4x-2y=-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

From equation (i), we have

-2x-y=1\\\\\Rightarrow y=-2x-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Substituting the value of y from equation (iii) in equation (ii), we get

-4x-2(-2x-1)=-1\\\\\Rightarrow -4x+4x+2=-1\\\\\Rightarrow 2=-1,

which can never be possible.

Therefore, the given system of equations has no solution.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Sally has x books that weigh 2 pounds each and 8 books that weigh 3 pounds each. the total weight of her books is 62 pounds. whi
Sholpan [36]
If Sally has x books that are 2 pounds then her x books weights a total of 2x lbs.

8 books of 3 lbs weights 8*3=24lbs

All them add up to 62, therefore we can conclude to the equation :
2x+24=62
or we can simplify to
2x=38
or even
x=19

The function c(x) = 0.5x+70 represents the cost c (in dollars) of renting a truck from a moving company, where x is the number o
tigry1 [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

the given  function: c(x) = 0.5x+70.

Where C = cost (in dollars) and x is the number of miles you drive the truck.

when we compare the given function by slope- the intercept form y=mx+b, what we get  is

Slope m = 0.5 whose fraction can be written as \frac{1}{2}

And y-intercept b =70.

for us to be able to graph it, we need to plot y-intercept from 70  and then plot some more points by applying or increasing the points by \frac{1}{2}

the shaded lines on the graph indicates the given function.

cost is at $70 for 0 number of miles. travelled.

Thus;

the Domain: x≥0 and Range :  C(x)≥70
