Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: look at the picture
(a) Answer: One solution.
Explanation: two lines that have same slope with opposite sign will necessarily cross each other at a single point, as one is "pointing uphill" and the other "downhill."
(b) Answer: Infinitely many solutions.
Explanation:
2x + 3y = 5.5
4x + 6y = 11 | divide by 2
-->
2x + 3y = 5.5
2x + 3y = 5.5
--> equations are identical.
2x + 3y = 2x + 3y
so any (x,y) will satisfy this equation. This means infinitely many solutions.
(c) Answer: One solution
Explanation:
Continuing the two lines it becomes obvious they will cross at one point (the solution)
(d) Answer: No solution
Explanation: If the two lines are parallel, they will never cross (by definition of "parallel"). Therefore there will be no solution to the corresponding linear system.
Answer:
$5.83 in taxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Discounted price of pants: 23.50 × (1 - 0.3) = 16.45
Discounted price of shirts: 16.25 × (1 - 0.25) = 12.1875
Discounted price of hats: 9.75 × (1 - 0.15) = 8.2875
2 pants, 3 shirts, and 1 hat: 16.45(2) + 12.1875(3) + 8.2875(1) = 77.75
Sales tax: 77.75 × 0.075 = 5.83125
Rounded to nearest cent: $5.83 in sales tax
Step-by-step explanation:
x =7y ----(1)
xy=252 ----(2)
(1) into (2):
(7y)(y) = 252
7y=15.874....
y=2.27
y value into (1)
x= 7(2.268)
x=15.87
the two numbers are 15.87 and 2.27 (Ans)
