No (unless you're talking about a whole number), for example...
0.2^2 = 0.04
It’s the light blue one!!!
So we are trying to get the “y” alone, so to undo the division by -8, we will multiply both sides by -8, then simplify.
(-8) y/(-8) = (-8) 1/16
y = -8/16
and simplified:
y = -1/2
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a = 3, b = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the first equation for y, we get ...
2y +16 = 6x . . . . . given
y = 8 +3x . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3x -8 . . . . . . . subtract 8
In order for the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be the same as this:
y = ax +b
a = 3, b = -8
