The other equation could be
2y - 6x = -6
Solving:-
y - 3x = -3..........(1)
2y - 6x = -6........(2)
multiplyng the first equation by 2 gives
2y - 6x = -6
so equations (1) and (2) are the same equation
If we graph them they will be the same line
Every point on that line will be a solution.
So there are infinitely many solutions
The solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4 respectively.
<h3>What is a system of linear equations?</h3>
A system of linear equations can be defined as a number of equations needed to solve the equations. For n number of variables n number of equations are required.
The given system of equations is as,
y = 4x + 16 (1)
y = −2x − 2 (2)
In order to solve them, substitute equation (2) into (1) as follows,
4x + 16 = −2x − 2
=> 4x + 2x = -2 - 16
=> 6x = -18
=> x = -3
Then, y = -2 × -3 - 2 = 4
Hence, the solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4.

Answer:
Base=8 feet
Height=17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Base=x
Height=3x-7
Area=68 square feet
Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height
68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)
Cross product
68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)
136 = 3x^2 - 7x
3x^2 - 7x - 136=0
Using quadratic formula
x= -b +or- √b^2 - 4ac / 2a
= -(-7) +or- √(-7)^2 - (4)(3)(-136) / 2(3)
= 7 +or- √49 - (-1632) / 6
= 7 +or- √49+1632) / 6
= 7 +or- √1681 / 6
=7 +or- 41 /6
x= 7+41 / 6 or 7-41 / 6
=48/6 or -34/6
=8 or -17/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Base=x
Height=3x-7
Area=68 square feet
Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height
68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)
Cross product
68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)
136 = 3x^2 - 7x
3x^2 - 7x - 136=0
Base of the boat can't be a negative value
Therefore,
Base = x = 8 feet
Height= 3x-7
=3(8)-7
=24-7
=17 feet
It is 2 inches long this is because of the length of the hands .
