The common difference is 12.
The two linear equations in two variable is:
12 x + 3 y = 40
7 x - 4 y = 38
(a) For a system of equations in two Variable
a x + by = c
p x + q y = r
It will have unique solution , when

As, you can see that in the two equation Provided above

So, we can say the system of equation given here has unique solution.
(b). If point (2.5, -3.4) satisfies both the equations, then it will be solution of the system of equation, otherwise not.
1. 12 x+3 y=40
2. 7 x-4 y=38
Substituting , x= 2.5 , and y= -3.4 in equation (1) and (2),
L.H.S of Equation (1)= 1 2 × 2.5 + 3 × (-3.4)
= 30 -10.20
= 19.80≠ R.H.S that is 40.
Similarly, L H S of equation (2)= 7 × (2.5) - 4 × (-3.4)
= 17.5 +13.6
= 31.1≠R HS that is 38
So, you can Write with 100 % confidence that point (2.5, -3.4) is not a solution of this system of the equation.

Answer:
(a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.
In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.
In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.
In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
<h2>
[A] Plane S contains points B and E.</h2>
False
As indicated in Figure A below, Plane S contains only point B (remarked in red). Point E (remarked in blue) lies on plane R.
<h2>
[B] The line containing points A and B lies entirely in plane T.</h2>
True
As indicated in Figure B below, the line containing points A and B lies entirely in plane T. That line has been remarked in red and it is obvious that lies on plane T.
<h2>
[C] Line v intersects lines x and y at the same point.</h2>
False
As indicated in Figure C below, line v intersects lines x and y, but line x in intersected at point B while line y (remarked in red) is intersected at point A (remarked in blue), and they are two different points, not the same.
<h2>
[D] Line z intersects plane S at point C.</h2>
True
As indicated in Figure D below, line z that has been remarked in yellow, intersects plane S at point C that has been remarked in blue.
<h2>
[E] Planes R and T intersect at line y.</h2>
True
As indicated in Figure E below, planes R and T intersect at line y. The line of intersection has been remarked in red.
