Remark

If the lines are parallel, there are no solutions to the system of equations. Start with the equation you know the most about.

x + 6y = 7                Subtract x from both sides

x - x + 6y = 7 - x      Combine

6y =  - x + 7             Switch and divide by 6

y = -x / 6 + 7/6

The general equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line.

m = - 1/6

================

Now look at the second equation

10ay - 5x = 32               Add 5x to both sides

10ay = 5x + 32              Divide by 10a

y = (5/10a)x + 32/(10a)  

===============

Now you must make

5/10a = - 1/6                     Cross Multiply

5* 6 = - 10a * 1

30 = - 10a                        Divide by - 10

a = 30 / - 10

a = - 3

So these two equations will have no solution when a = - 3

What is 9.66 rounded to the nearest tenth
nikitadnepr [17]
9.66
   ^ This is the tenths place.

Look at the number after it, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.

The number is 6, so we round up to 9.7.

-1/2 + ( 3/4 x 4/9)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 + ( 3/4 x 4/9)

PEMDAS says parentheses first

Rearranging the fractions

-1/2 + ( 3/9 x 4/4)

-1/2 + (1/3*1)

-1/2 + 1/3

Getting a common denominator of 6

-1/2 *3/3 + 1/3 *2/2

-3/6+2/6

-1/6
