Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2}(x+15) = 2 + \frac{3}{4}(x-4)

To make this easier, to get ride of the fractions, we can multiply both sides by 4

2(x+15) = 8 + 3(x-4)

now use the distributive property

2x + 30 = 8 + 3x - 12\\

now we want to isolate x to one side and isolate all the constants to the other

2x - 3x = 8 - 12 - 30\\

now simplify

-x = -34\\x = 34

to test, we can plug in back to the original

\frac{1}{2}(34+15) = \frac{49}{2}\\\frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4}(34-4) = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{90}{4} = \frac{98}{4} = \frac{49}{2}

it works

Considering High School level question, answer can be written as:


A system of 2 linear equations is [two] dimensional. It is a graph of [two] lines. The solutions can be [unique] solution if the graph intersects. [No] solution if the lines are parallel - meaning they have the same slope, or [Infinitely many] solutions if they are the same line.


Explanation:

when two lines are drawn on a two-dimensional plane then there are only three possible cases:

Case1: lines will intersect

In that case you will get a unique solution at the intersection point.


Case2: lines are parallel but don't touch each other

In that case there will be no point which lies on both lines so No solution.


Case3: lines are overlapping.

In that case all the points lies on both lines so infinitely many solutions.
