Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this system of equations:

y=-2x+5

y=-2x+20

and we want to find the solution (the point in which the lines intersect)

There are 3 ways to solve a system, but let's use substitution in this case

Both equations are set to y, so they should be equal to each other via a property known as transitivity (if a=b and b=c, then a=c)

-2x+5=-2x+20 (the same as y=y)

Now let's solve for x

add 2x to both sides

5=20

In this case, we got an untrue statement. If this happens, then the lines won't intersect.

If they won't intersect, there's no solution

Hope this helps!

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 2x + 5

y = -2x + 20

Set the two equations equal

- 2x + 5 = -2x + 20

Add 2x to each side

- 2x+2x + 5 = -2x+2x + 20

5 = 20

This is never true so there are no solutions

What are the points of trisection of the segment with endpoints (0,0) and (27,27) ?

stiks02 [169]

Given:

Endpoints of a segment are (0,0) and (27,27).

To find:

The points of trisection of the segment.

Solution:

Points of trisection means 2 points between the segment which divide the segment in 3 equal parts.

First point divide the segment in 1:2 and second point divide the segment in 2:1.

Section formula: If a point divides a line segment in m:n, then

$Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Using section formula, the coordinates of first point are

$Point\ 1=\left(\dfrac{1(27)+2(0)}{1+2},\dfrac{1(27)+2(0)}{1+2}\right)$

$Point\ 1=\left(\dfrac{27}{3},\dfrac{27}{3}\right)$

$Point\ 1=\left(9,9\right)$

Using section formula, the coordinates of first point are

$Point\ 2=\left(\dfrac{2(27)+1(0)}{2+1},\dfrac{2(27)+1(0)}{2+1}\right)$

$Point\ 2=\left(\dfrac{54}{3},\dfrac{54}{3}\right)$

$Point\ 2=\left(18,18\right)$

Therefore, the points of trisection of the segment are (9,9) and (18,18).

Charles can do a job in 1 hour, bill can do the same job in 2 hours, and bob can do the job in 3 hours. How long does it take th

KiRa [710]

Charles can do the whole job in an hour, Bill can do 1/2 of the job in an hour, and Bob does 1/3 of the job in an hour. Therefore, they do a total of 1+1/2+1/3=11/6 of the job in an hour, meaning it takes them 6/11 of an hour. This is 6/11*60=360/11 minutes, or approximately 33 minutes.
