Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, this means that the equations will be identical.

Convert the given equation to y = mx + b form.

2y - 4x = 6

2y = 4x + 6

y = 2x + 3

Answer A, B, and D don't apply.

Answer C is the answer because if it is the same equation but with a negative sign in front of each term. If you switch the signs on every single term, you will have the given equation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations has infinitely many solutions when the two lines representing the equations coincide. i.e. the two equations are the same or a multiple of each other.

2y - 4x = 6

2y = 4x + 6

2y = 2(2x + 3)

y = 2x + 3

-y = -(2x + 3)

-y = -2x - 3

Hence the other equation is -y = -2x - 3

Amy has a box containing 6 white, 4 red, and 8 black marbles. She picks a marble randomly. It is red. The second time, she picks

Sladkaya [172]

After the 3rd pick we have: 4 white, 3 red and 8 black marbles.
The probability that the 4th marble is black is:
P ( Black ) = 8 / 15 = 0.5333
After the 4th pick we have: 4 white, 3 red and 7 black marbles.
P ( Red or Black ) = 10 / 14 = 5 / 7 = 0.7143

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 30%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 60% off clearan

Schach [20]

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

We get 30% off the original price

The new price is (100-30) = 70$ of the original price

Let x = the original price

The new price is .7x

Now get get an additional 60% off. We pay (100-60) = 40 percent of the price

Take .7x * .4

The new price is .7*.4 x

.28x

This is 28 percent of the original price x
