Let's try the actual solution of the system
<span>y = –2x + 1
y = –2x – 3
Note that the slopes of the graphs of these two lines are the same: -2.
That means that the lines are parallel to one another.
Only the y-intercepts (1 and -3) are different.
Since the 2 lines never intersect, the system has no solution.

Answer:
x=6 y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
- Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:
8x + 2y=30
7x + 2y=24
- Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
- Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:
42+2y=24 then
2y=-18 then
y=-9
- Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.
Its true for integers if you are using the associative property in addition or multiplication ONLY.
Answer:
These types of questions are not daunting if you break it down. First look at "Five less than twice the value of a number."
"Twice the value of a number" is simply 2x.
"Five less" is simply -5, so for the first part we have (2x-5)
Next, analyze the second part. "Three times the quantity of four more than one half the number."
Looking at "Three times the quantity" simply means "3 times something".
"the quantity of four more than one half the number" is 4 + "one half the number" or 4 + (1/2)x.
So the second part is simply 3(4+x/2).
Finally we finish the entire equation, (2x-5) = 3(4+x/2) then solve for x.
2x-5 = 12 + (3/2)x
2x-(3/2)x = 17
x/2 = 17
x=34
Checking the left side, (2x-5) = 2(34) - 5 = 63.
Checking the right side, 3(4+(34/2)) = 3(4+17) = 3(21) = 63.
Answer:
1/4, 1/4, 6/10, 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 = 0.25
7/10 = 0.7
6/10 = 0.6
