Answer:

B.a=b, c≠0

C.a=b, c=0

D.a-b=1, c≠1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is c = ax - bx. We can factor the right-hand side to obtain an equivalent equation which is c = (a-b)x

Let’s explore each answer choice given. We are looking for cases where there is no one solution for the equation.

A

a-b = 1 so the right-hand side becomes 1x and we have x=c. Since c is 0 we have one solution that is x=0

B

a=b so a-b =0 and the equation becomes 0=c but the answer choice says c does not equal zero. So in this case there is no solution. This is a correct answer to the problem.

C

This is the same as choice B but since C =0 both sides of the equation equal zero. We get 0=0 but notice that this is true no matter what the value of x is so this equation is called identity and any value of x will do so there isn’t one solution but rather infinitely many. This is another right answer.

D

Here a-b=1 so we end up with x = c and since c doesn’t equal one any value of x except 1 is a solution so there isn’t one solution but infinitely many. This too is an answer to the question.

E

Since a doesn’t equal b and since c = 0 we have (a-b)x = 0 so. Either a-b is zero but since a and b are different this can’t be or x is zero. This there is one solution: x=0.

<em>From the above, the answer to the question is choices </em><em>B, C, and D</em>

A paint mixture was formed by mixing exactly 3 colors of paint. By volume, the mixture was x% blue paint, y% green paint, and z%
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Both statements are sufficient to answer the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The paint mixture has following proportions:

 Total volume of paint = T

 Blue:  x*T / 100

 Green: y*T/100

 Red: z*T/100

Find:

Statement 1: x = y

Statement: z = 60

Which of the above statement is sufficient to calculate the amount of green paint used

Solution:

Statement 1:

- The amount of blue paint used is:

                    1 gallon = x*T / 100

- x = y,

                    1 gallon = y*T / 100

Hence,

                    Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon

- The statement is sufficient

Statement 2:

- The amount of red paint used is:

                    3 gallon = z*T / 100

                    T = 300 / z = 300 / 60 = 5 gallons

                    T = R + B + G

                    G = T - R - B

                    G = 5 - 3 - 1

                    G = 1 gallons

Hence,

                    Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon

- The statement is sufficient
