Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange to same form:

2y = -5x + 10

y = -5/2x + 10

ay = -5x + 4

Parallel lines have no intersection and solution, thus a = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For there to be no solution the lines must be parallel and have different y intercepts. To be parallel they must have the same slope.

Solving each for y

y=(10-5x)/2 and y=(4-x)/a

So the slopes are

-5/2 and -1/a, if they are equal

-5/2=-1/a

-5a=-2

a=2/5

Over [174]

Answer:\frac{1}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, first, you want to find the probability of getting a head, which would be 1/2 because there are two options and we are only looking for one out of the two. Then, the probability of getting a 6 would be 1/6 because there is only one chance of getting a 6 and there are 6 options. Next, you would have to multiply both quantities to find out what the probability would be of getting both. So it would be \frac{1}{2} ×\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}
