How many solutions does this system have? y=5x-1 y=-3+7

I'll assume that's

y=5x-1

y=-3x + 7

Please let me know if that's wrong.

These are two lines in point slope form.   They'll meet at some x that makes the ys equal.


5x-1 = -3x + 7

5x + 3x =1+ 7

8x= 8

x= 1
 
y=5x-1 = 5(1)-1 = 4

(x,y)=(1,4) is the only solution.

Exactly one solution.

We really only had to ensure the lines had two different slopes.  Then there's always exactly one solution.

If the lines had the same slope, they're either the same line (coincident) so an infinite number of solutions, all the points on that line, or they're parallel, no solutions.

(Different one)<br><br> Factor 6x^2 - 10x - 4
Alina [70]
We can first factor all the terms by 2:
<span>6x^2 - 10x - 4=2(3x^2-5x-2)
</span>
Then we solve 3x^2-5x-2=0.

Discriminant : 25+4*3*2=49=7^2 hence the roots are (5-7)/6 and (5+7)/6 which are -1/3 and 2

Hence 3x^2-5x-2=(x-2)(3x+1)

Thus 6x^2-10x-4=2(x-2)(3x+1)

Which expression is equivalent to 8 - 3
Arturiano [62]
-3 + 8 is also the same as the expression mentioned above.

We can have the basic inequalities and equalities’ sign. (>, =, <). 
These three set of symbols can discern, describe and explain the relationship between of numbers. These signs are used varying in many mathematical operations to explain and find discrepancy between value, sets of values or numbers in single and equitable category. 
Examples includes
 6 > 5; 6 is greater than 5; 5 is less than 6
 1 > -1; -1 is less than 1; 1 is greater than -1 
<span>-2 = -2; -2 is equal to -2  <span> </span></span>

Nicole used a total of 5 1/6 gallons of gas while driving her car. Each hour she was driving, she used 5/9 gallons of gas what w
Gennadij [26K]

Let's write the total of gallons in improper fraction:

Step 1: Multiply the denominator by the whole number

6 × 5 = 30

Step 2: Add the answer from Step 1 to the numerator

30 + 1 = 31

Step 3: Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator

5 1/6  = 31 / 6

Let's divide the total gallons by what she used each hour to get the number of hours:

\dfrac{31}{6} \ : \ \dfrac{5}{9} = \dfrac{31}{6}\  \cdot \ \dfrac{9}{5} =  \dfrac{31}{2}\  \cdot \ \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{93}{10}

Let convert the improper fraction to mixed number:

93/10 = 9 3/10

<h2>She was driven a total of 9 3/10 hours</h2>
