Answer: p = 6


Step-by-step explanation:

HI !


 px + 3y - ( p-3)=0


a₁ = p , b₁ = 3 , c₁ = - (p-3)


=====================


12x + py - p=0


a₂ = 12  , b₂ = p , c₂ = -p


since , the equations have infinite solutions , 


a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂


p/12 = 3/p =  p-3/p



--------------------------------------


p/12 = 3/p


cross multiply ,


p² = 36


p = √36

 p = 6


for the value of p = 6 , the equations will have infinitely many solutions

HELP ASAP IM STRUGGLING : The instructions on a box of chicken patties state that one patty should be cooked for 2.5 minutes in
AveGali [126]

Answer:

y= 1.5x + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So slope intercept form is y= mx + b.

y is the number of minutes, so that will be on the left of the equal sign, not part of the math side of the actual equation, because it's the answer.

1.5x is the mx part because it's 1.5 minutes for each extra patty. So that would explain the x attached to it. so for each extra patty you add, that's what x would be.

The + 2.5 at the end, is just the time for the initial patty.

Hope this helps and is easy to understand! :)
