Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To get no solution, you want to get rid of x and leave an incorrect equation.
In this case, we will use 1/3x.
1/3x + 2 = 1/3x - 3
We subtract 1/3x on both sides. This will cause the 1/3x's to cancel out.
1/3x - 1/3x + 2 = 1/3x - 1/3x - 3
2 ≠ -3
As we know, 2 is not 3. Therefore, there is no solution if 1/3x is used.
Answer:
There is a total 50 questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total questions in the exam
Since 82% of the test was scored correctly, that means 18% of the student's exam was scored incorrectly.
With this information we can write:
(Given that the student made 9 mistakes)
(divide 18% on both sides)

∴ There was a total of 50 questions in the examination.
Answer: x = 13/5
Explanation:
(x+4)/(3x+1) = 3/4
Cross multiply:
4(x+4) = 3(3x+1)
4x + 16 = 9x + 3
4x - 9x = 3 - 16
-5x = -13
x = -13/-5
x = 13/5
Given:
A line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5).
To find:
The equation of the line.
Solution:
If a line passes through the two points, then the equation of the line is

The line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5). So, the equation of the line is




Using distributive property, we get


Subtract 1 from both sides.


Therefore, the correct option is B.
