so you have your two equations 3x+7=5x-23 and solve for x which is your "number" leaving the answer to be <u>x=15</u>
Two equations will be called independent if their graphs touch only on one point (they have one solution for the x-value and one solution for the y-value), and two equations will be dependent if they touch at every point (there is an infinite number of solutions).
This definition of independent and dependent equations is shown in the following diagram. Consider that there are two lines, one red line and one blue line:
They are independent if they touch only on one point and dependent if they touch at every point (they are the same line).
In our case, we are asked to write an equation in order to create an independent consistent linear system.
Note: Consistent means that the system has a solution.
First, we graph the given equation:

There are many different equations that will form an independent consistent linear system with this equation.
We are going to choose the following line equation:

Because when we graph this equation next to the previous line:
We can see that they touch at one point, thus there is a solution and the system is independent --> we have created an independent consistent linear system.

Answer:
i need the answer also
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle of taller building Tan 45° = opposite (height of the building)/
adjacent 50 feet (distance between Kathy and the taller building
Tan 45° = 1
Height of taller building from eye level = multiplying adjacent
50 feet * Angle (Tan 45°) 1 = 50 feet opposite
Angle of smaller building Tan 38° = 0.781
Height of smaller building from eye level = Angle * adjacent
50 feet = 39.06 feet
Difference of eye level from ground is 5 feet
Taller building height is 50 + 5
Total height of taller building is 55 feet.
Smaller building height is 39.06 + 5
Total height of smaller building is 44.06 feet
