- y₁ = y₂ for x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, put the x-value in the formula and do the arithmetic. If you're allowed, you can save some time and effort by realizing that the solution (x) will have to be an even number.
y₁ is an integer value for all integer values of x. y₂ is an integer value for even values of x only. y₁ and y₂ will both be integers (and possibly equal) only when x is even.
For example, for x = 6, we have
... y₁ = 3·6 - 8 = 18 -8 = 10
... y₂ = 0.5·6 +7 = 3 +7 = 10
That is, for x = 6, both columns of the table have the same number (10). That is, y₁ = y₂ for x = 6. The solution to the equation
... y₁ = y₂
is
... x = 6.
Answer:
The system has one solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of solutions of the system, we equal both equations for y.
If we have ax = b, in which both a and b are different of 0, we have one solution.
If both a and b are 0, we have infinite solutions.
If a is 0 and b is not, there are no solutions.
y=6/7x-8 and y=7/9x+10/9
So
Both a and b are different of 0, so the system has one solution.
