Answer: infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, our equation is:

-2.1*b + 5.3 = b - 3.1*b + 5.3

now, simplifyng the right side, we have:

b - 3.1*b + 5.3 = (1 - 3.1)*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3

Then our initial expression is:

-2.1*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3

So in both sides of the equality we have the exact same thing, so this is a trivial equality.

This means that the equality will remain true for any value of b, which means that we have infinitely many solutions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the angle markings. Angle C has one mark, Angles E and S have two marks, and Angles D and R have three marks.

Therefore, these angles correspond with one another and determine the order of the letters.

Graph the system of equations. Then determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. If

natima [27]

Answer:

d) one solution; (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to follow problem directions. A graph is attached, showing the one solution to be (4, 1).

_____

You know there will be one solution because the lines have different slopes. Each is in the form ...

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The first line has slope -1 and y-intercept +5; the second line has slope 1 and y-intercept -3. The slope is the number of units of "rise" for each unit of "run", so it can be convenient to graph these by starting at the y-intercept and plotting points with those rise and run from the point you know.
