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.

Debora [2.8K]

Explanation:

The common difference of this arithmetic sequence is 5. Adding 5 to an even number gives an odd number, and vice versa. Hence the "parity" of the terms in the sequence must alternate between odd and even.
