Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to find a common denominator, so first we find out 2 times how much equals 8? 2x4 = 8. So with 8 being our common denominator, we have to multiple 4 to every number in the fraction 1/2. So 1x4 = (4/8) = 2x4. Then you just add the top numbers, so 4 + 3 = 7 and keep the denominator. 7/8.

Systems of linear equations iready quiz

saw5 [17]

Answer:

<h2>One solution.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is

<em>Does the following system have One Solution, No Solution, or Infinite Solutions. </em>

<em />

To solve this system, we just need to multiply the first equation by -1, and then sum those equations.

$-y = -4x - 8\\y = -5x + 3$

$0=-9x-5\\5=-9x\\x=-\frac{5}{9}$

Then, we use this value to find the other one

$y=4x+8\\y=4(-\frac{5}{9} )+8\\y=-\frac{20}{9}+8\\y =\frac{-20+72}{9} \\y=\frac{52}{9}$

As you can observe, the system of equations have a unique solution.

Therefore, the answer is one solution.
