Any help with this question please?

Mathematics
1 answer:
taurus [48]3 years ago

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>

Kyle spends an equal amount of money each day. After 4 days, he had 4/5 of his money left. After another 10 days he had $30 left
Elden [556K]
4 days spending equal amounts so if x is how much he spends per day and y is the original amount then 4x=1/5y bc he has 4/5 left meaning what he spent was 1/5 of the original and after 10 more days which was 14 total he spent all but 30 so the total minus 30 will be how much kyle spent so
14x=y-30 which is y=(14x+30) and substitute that in for y in 4x=1/5y so 4x=1/5 (14x+30)
20x=14x+30
6x=30
x=5 and plug that in either of the original equations 4(5)=1/5y
y=100
so he had $100 and spent $5 per day
