Answer: Q = 8</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The left hand side of the first equation is x-3y
The left hand side of the second equation is 2x-6y = 2(x-3y). Note how it's simply double of the first expression x-3y
If we multiply both sides of the first equation by 2, we get
x-3y = 4
2(x-3y) = 2*4
2x-6y = 8
Meaning that 2x-6y = 8 is equivalent to x-3y = 4. Both produce the same line leading to infinitely many solutions. Each solution will lay along the line x-3y = 4.
We can say each solution is in the set {(x,y): x-3y = 4}
Which is the same as saying each solution is of the form (3y+4,y)
Answer:
B = G + 7 and B + G = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B = boys and G = girls. There are 7 more boys then girls. Set the equation:
B = G + 7
There are 29 students in total. Set the boys and girls equal to the total amount:
B + G = 29
B = G + 7 and B + G = 29 is your answer.

Hi there! :)
Answer:
B. 0 solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation 7(x + 2) = 7x - 10
Simplify:
7(x + 2) = 7x - 10
Distribute the 7 with the terms inside of the parenthesis:
7x + 14 = 7x - 10
Subtract "7x" and 14 from both sides:
7x - 7x = -10 - 14
0 ≠ - 24. The equation has no solutions.
