Answer:

n = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the system of linear equations:

nx + 3y = 6
12x - 6y = 0

Convert both equations into slope intercept form:

nx + 3y = 6 ⇒ 3y = - nx + 6 ⇒ y = - 1/3nx + 2
12x - 6y = 0 ⇒ 6y = 12x ⇒ y = 2x

The system has no solution if lines have equal slopes with different y-intercepts:

-1/3n = 2
n = - 6

Which number in the monomial 125x^18y^3z^25 needs to be changed to make it a perfect cube

Oksana_A [137]

Hi,

You just have to change z^25 to z^24 or z^27.

$125x^{18}y^3z^{24}=(5x^6*y*z^8)^3$

The sum of two numbers is -6. The difference is 16. Find the two numbers.

Bess [88]

Answer:

$-5\:\mathrm{and}\: 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following system of equations:

$\begin{cases}x+y=6\\x-y=16\\\end{cases}$

Adding both equations together, we isolate $x$ and get:

$2x=22,\: x=11$

Plugging $x=11$ in any of the equations, we can solve for $y$ :

$11+y=6,\: y=-5$

Verify that the solution pair $(11, -5)$ works $\checkmark$

Therefore, the two numbers are $\fbox{$-5\:\mathrm{and}\: 11$}$ .
