In order to solve this problem, we must solve an equation.
First, we need to define our unknown.
Let's call our number "n".
So, the sum of the number and 6 is the same as saying n+6
Then we need to multiply it by 2 (since it's twice the sum)
2(n+6)
This whole thing is equal to three times of the difference of the number and 8
n-8 is equal to the difference between the number and 8, then we need to multiply it by three.
3(n-8)
now, we set both sides equal and solve
The number is 36
the equations y = –3x + 4 and 3y = –9x + 12 have infinitely many solutions. option B is correct.
<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.
Condition for the parallel lines.
L1, ax + bx + c = 0
L2, dx + ey + f = 0
If then lines have infinitely many solutions.
y = –3x + 4 and 3y = –9x + 12
On comparing we have
a = -3 , b = 1, and c = 4
d = -9 , e = 3, and f = 12
Then their ratio will be
Hence y = –3x + 4 and 3y = –9x + 12 have infinitely many solutions.
Thus the option B is correct.
