Answer: p = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
HI !
px + 3y - ( p-3)=0
a₁ = p , b₁ = 3 , c₁ = - (p-3)
=====================
12x + py - p=0
a₂ = 12 , b₂ = p , c₂ = -p
since , the equations have infinite solutions ,
a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂
p/12 = 3/p = p-3/p
--------------------------------------
p/12 = 3/p
cross multiply ,
p² = 36
p = √36
p = 6
for the value of p = 6 , the equations will have infinitely many solutions
Answer:
The equation would be y = 4/3x - 3
Melanie walked 2.2 miles. Cathy walked 1.75 times as far. This means that you need to do 2.2 * 1.75 which equals 3.85. To find how much further, do 3.85 - 2.2 which equals 1.65. Therefore Cathy walked 1.65 more miles than Melanie.
