Answer: The system of equations has NO SOLUTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
Given the following system of equations:
Write the first equation and solve for "y" in order to express it in Slope-Intercept form:
You can identify that:
Apply the same procedure with the second equation. Then:
You can identify that:
The slopes of both lines are equal, therefore the lines are parallel and the system has NO SOLUTION.
Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4
Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75
Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.
===========================================================
Work Shown:
AC/QY = CD/YW
(x+5)/15 = 5/4
4(x+5) = 15*5
4x+20 = 75
4x = 75-20
4x = 55
x = 55/4
x = 13.75
------------
Explanations:
- The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
- In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
- On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.
