Answer:

<h3>            Any of them.</h3><h2>          a ∈ R</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 4y = 2a                         4x - 5y = 2

-4y = 5x + 2a                        -5y = -4x + 2

y = (5x + 2a):(-4)                    y = (-4x + 2):(-5)

y = -⁵/₄x - ¹/₂a                           y = ⁴/₅x - ²/₅

m₁ = -⁵/₄,  b₁ = -¹/₂a                  m₂=⁴/₅,  b₂= -²/₅

               -⁵/₄ ≠ ⁴/₅

Different slopes means that two lines have one point of intercept (no mater what the b's are). That means that the system of linear equations has exactly one solution for any value of a.

Whst is 15 divided by 6 2/3 equals
PolarNik [594]
First you make 15 a fraction by putting it over 1.
Then you make 6 2/3 a mixed fraction.
To do this, you multiply 6 with 3 and add 2 to it. Then you put the number over 3.
We get
6 X 3 = 18
18 +2 = 20
20/3

Now, we divide 15/1 with 20/3.
When we divide it, we actually cross multiply it. Basically, we flip the fraction and multiply it.

So we get 15/1 X 3/20 = \frac{15 X 3}{1 X 20}.

We get 45/20 which can be simplified to 9/5 which can be simplified to 2  1/4.

So the answer is 9/4 or 2  1/4.
