Answer: Choice C) no solution
=============================================================
Explanation:
The first equation says that y and 3x-4 are the same thing.
So we can replace every copy of "y" in the second equation with "3x-4" like so
9x - 3y = 14
9x - 3(3x-4) = 14
9x - 9x + 12 = 14
0x + 12 = 14
0 + 12 = 14
12 = 14
The last equation is false because we get different values on either side. Because the last equation is false, it means the equation 9x-3y = 14 is false when y = 3x-4.
In short, the overall systems of equations is inconsistent and that leads to no solution (choice C).
If you were to graph each equation, you should find that both lines are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect. The solution is the intersection point of any graphed system.
We have the following rule for exponents:
then, in this case we have:
Answer:
Use the graphing tool to graph the linear equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.
The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.
The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.
So our equation is:
-8x = 8(x + 36)
We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.
-8x = 8x + 288
Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.
-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x
-16x = 288
Divide both sides by -16
x = -18
