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! :)

Please help! I know its either B or D but im not sure how to tell
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of g(x), we can substitute the point into each of the equations.

A. g(x) = (1/4x)^2

1 = (1/4 * 2)^2

1 = (1/2)^2

1 = 1/4

This statement is false, so this is not the equation.

B. g(x) = 1/2 * x^2

1 = 1/2 * (2)^2

1 = 1/2 * 4

1 = 2

This statement is false, so this is not the equation.

C. g(x) = 2x^2

1 = 2 * 2^2

1 = 2 * 4

1 = 8

This statement is false, so this is not the equation.

D. g(x) = (1/2x)^2.

1 = (1/2 * 2)^2

1 = 1^2

1 = 1

This statement is true, so this is your answer.

Hope this helps!
