There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)
There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.
How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.
The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope
(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2
The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is
(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2
The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.
Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.

it's x ≤ 3 :))) I found it out after realizing what you were asking
Answer:
The equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a quadratic function passes through the points ( − 5 , − 8 ) and ( 8 , − 8 ) .
In the given points y-coordinates are same, i.e., -8. It means both the points lie on the horizontal line y=-8.
If a quadratic function passes through two points (a,c) and (b,c), then the equation for the axis of symmetry is
According to the given points a=-5, b=8 and c=-8. Put these value in the above formula.
Therefore the equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
Answer:
n = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
10n + 2 = 7n + 14
Collect terms in n on the left side and numbers on the right side
Subtract 7n from both sides
3n + 2 = 14 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
3n = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = 4
