Answer: Choice C) When you solve for the variable, you will end up with a false statement, like 0 = 2, for an equation with no solution. You will end up with a true statement, like 2 = 2 for an equation with infinitely many solutions.
For example, let's say we had the equation x = x+2. Subtracting x from both sides leads to 0 = 2 which is a false statement. No matter what we replace x with, the equation x = x+2 is always false. That's why we don't have any solutions here.
For an equation like x + 2 = x + 2, subtracting x from both sides leads to 2 = 2 which is always true. A true equation is one where the same number is on both sides. No matter what we replace x with, the equation will be true. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.
Replace the CIRCLES by A and the SQUARES by B:
1) A + B = 14 And
2) A - B = 2
Add 1) + 2)
A+B =14
A-B = 2
------ ----
2A+0 = 16 then A = 16/2 = 8. If A = 8, then B = 6
So the CIRCLE = 8 and the SQUARE = 6
Answer:
3.9 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
If the boy is rowing perpendicular to the current, the two vectors form a right triangle.
AB represents the downstream current, BC is the speed across the river, and AC is the ground speed of the boat
AC^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.1^2 =5.76 + 9.61 = 15.37
AC = sqrt(15.37) = 3.9 mi/h
The boat's speed over the ground is 3.9 mi/h.
