6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 3 ................ (i)

kx + 15y = 9................(ii)

Dividing eqn (ii) by 3, we get,

k/3 x + 5y = 3.............(iii)

Subtracting eqn (iii) by eqn (i), we get,

-4x - k/3 x = 0

or, -(4 - k/3 )x = 0

or, 4 - k/3 = 0/x

or, 4 - k/3 = 0

or, 4 = k/3

or, k = 4*3

:. k = 12 (Ans)

How many solutions does the system formed by x - y = 3 and ay + 3a = 0 have for a non zero number a? Explain and show how you ge

dlinn [17]

Solve both equations for y:
$x-y=3 \ \ \ |-x \\
-y=-x+3 \ \ \ |\times (-1) \\
y=x-3 \\ \\
ay+3a=0 \ \ \ |-3a \\
ay=-3a \ \ \ |\div a, a \not= 0 \\
y=-3$

Set the expressions equal to each other:
$y=y \\ x-3=-3 \ \ \ |+3 \\
x=0 \\ \\
(x,y)=(0,-3)$

So, for every nonzero number a the system of equations has one solution.

Please help! not sure how to start.

bearhunter [10]

First simplify it so it would become -1 x^2 over 6 x^5
then you need to simplify the x's so do 5-3 so the final answer is -1 over 6 x^3

the metro theater has 20 rows of seats 18 seats in each row tickets cost $5 the theaters income in dollers if all seats are sold

Nataly_w [17]

20 rows x 18 seats per row= 360 after that is 5 dollars for the cost of the tickets so multiply 360 by 5 and you will get the answer of 1800.
