Okay, so this is basically telling you that there is no solution. You don't have to worry about there being one. You just have to justify (or explain) why there isn't one.

Basically, neither y or x is equal to anything. You couldn't make x equal to a value in y because x and y are both together in the equation and equal to numbers. 

We can always move a factor to the other side. So,

x-2y= -8

Add 2y to the other side.

x= -8+2y

Now, plug in -8+2y as x.

3(-8+2y)- 6y=-12

-24+6y-6y= -12

The 6y's cancel out. So, we can't figure out what y is.

-24=-12 <- no y.

These two lines are 
parallel. They have direct proportion in each other. That is why there is no solution because the lines never cross. Parallel lines do not cross. 

I hope this helps!

Can someone pls help??

Answer:

a. The y coordinates for A are either 10 or -14

b.  The y coordinates for A are either -11 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = sqrt ((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

We know Point B and the x coordinate of point A as well as the distance

15 = sqrt ((-4-5)^2+(-2-y1)^2)

15 = sqrt ((-9)^2+(-2-y1)^2)

15 = sqrt (81+(-2-y1)^2)

Square each side

15^2 =sqrt (81+(-2-y1)^2)^2

225 =  81+(-2-y1)^2

Subtract 81 from each side

225-81 = 81-81 +(-2-y1)^2

144 = (-2-y1)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt 144 = sqrt(-2-y1)^2

±12 = (-2-y1)

Add 2 to each side

2±12 = 2-2-y1

2±12 = -y1

14 = -y1  or -10 = -y1

Multiply by -1

-14 = y1  or 10 = y1

The y coordinates for A are either 10 or -14

Now move B to -7,-2

15 = sqrt ((-7-5)^2+(-2-y1)^2)

15 = sqrt ((-12)^2+(-2-y1)^2)

15 = sqrt (144+(-2-y1)^2)

Square each side

15^2 =sqrt (144+(-2-y1)^2)^2

225 =  144+(-2-y1)^2

Subtract 144 from each side

225-144 = 144-144 +(-2-y1)^2

81 = (-2-y1)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt 81 = sqrt(-2-y1)^2

±9 = (-2-y1)

Add 2 to each side

2±9 = 2-2-y1

2±9 = -y1

11 = -y1  or -7 = -y1

Multiply by -1

-11 = y1  or 7 = y1

The y coordinates for A are either -11 or 7

Math workshops and final exams: The college tutoring center staff are considering whether the center should increase the number
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable is also known as the dependent variable. It depends on another factor which is the independent variable to cause change/ response to it.

In this study, they want to test if an increase in the number of Math workshop which is the independent variable will cause a change in the final exam scores which is the dependent variable. The response to this inquiry is thus the final exam score which is also known as the response variable.
