Answer:
x=1 and y= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, lets take the first equation and find the x value.
Because it is ordered in standard form, we need to convert to slope-intercept form, and isolate the y.
5x+4y=16
-5x -5x
4y=-5x+16
÷4 ÷4 ÷4
y=+4
or
y=-1+4
or
y= 5
Now that we have the y value, we can use this to find the x value by inserting it into either equation, since they both have y values in them. Going with the first one again, lets try it:
5x+4(+4)=16
5x-5+16=16
5x+11=16
-11 -11
5x=5
÷5 ÷5
x=1 and y= 5
Answer:
; line D in the options.
Step-by-step explanation:
The set of equations has no solutions if the two lines are parallel. A quick way to create a parallel line is to solve for y, put it in slope-intercept form. Else, as long as the cofficient of x and y are in the same ratio (in this case 1:1), the two lines are parallel, you just have to be careful not to pick the same line again!
The condition makes sure you are still getting lines (else you would get rid of both x and y); the condition
makes sure you're not picking line A again, just written in a different form.
Now that we have the options:
A and C have a different ratio for the coefficient of x and y (2:1 and 1:2) so are not good.
Choice B is just a more complicated way to write the same line, you can see by dividing both sides by 2 and get back x+y=2.
Line D is correct.
