Answer:

A = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are no solutions for x, both sides x cancel leaving an equation with two distinct numbers equal to each other (e.g. 6 = 0). Therefore, we must find a number A for which that happens.

Lets first simplify the equation, 3Ax - 24 = 5x - 9 + x = 6x - 9.

We want to cancel out the 6x on both sides. This happens when the left side also has 6x, so 3Ax = 6x -> A = 2.

Testing out this works, we get:

6x - 24 = 6x - 9 -> -24 = -9 (which isn’t true)

We get no solutions, which is what we are looking for! Therefore, A = 2 must be our answer!

I hope this helps! :)

5)Substituting any of the following equations; i chose bottom into top:
-2x+5=x+2
=>-3x=-3
=>x=1
Sub the x in any of the eqs to find y so
Y=1+2
=>Y=3
ANS: (1,3)

6) substituting the top equation into the bottom one:
3x+2x+4=9
=>5x=13
=>x=13/5 or 2.6
Sub the x in any of the eqs to find the y so
Y=5.2+4
=>y=9.2
ANS: (2.6, 9.2)

The equation looks like this:

26=x*3.5+8.50

where x is the number of pen you bought.

We solve it like this:
first, we subtract 8.50 from both sides:

17.50 =3.5*x

now we divide both sides by 3.5:
5=x

so you purchased 5 pens.

Points F,G, and H are collinear such that FG:FH=2/3.If a directed line segment begins at F(-3,2) and ends at H (-3,7), find the
Nana76 [90]
We consider the x- and y-coordinates separately. Let the coordinates of G be (x, y). Now considering the x-coordinates:
FG/FH = (x - (-3)) / (-3 - (-3)) = 2/3
x + 3 = (2/3)(6)
x = 1
For the y-coordinates:
FG/FH = (y - 2) / (7 - 2) = 2/3
y - 2 = (2/3)(5)
y = 16/3
Therefore the coordinates of G are (1, 16/3).
