To solve the system of linear equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 by using the linear combination method, Henry d

ecided that he should first multiply the first equation by –3 and then add the two equations together to eliminate the x-terms. When he did so, he also eliminated the y-terms and got the equation 0 = 0, so he thought that the system of equations must have an infinite number of solutions. To check his answer, he graphed the equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 with his graphing calculator, but he could only see one line. Why is this?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both lines have same slope so the graph of both equation will be same and hence it will overlap each other that is why the Henry  could only see one line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : A system of linear equation 3x - 2y = 4 and 9x - 6y = 12  

We have to show whey when Henry  graphed the equations 3x-2y=4 and 9x-6y=12 he could only see one line.

Consider the given system of linear equation

3x - 2y = 4 ................(1)

9x - 6y = 12   ..................(2)

Since,

Equation (2) is multiple of equation (1),

3 × ( 3x - 2y = 4) = 9x - 6y = 12  

Also the slope of given equations are same

For equation (1),

Differentiate with respect to x, we get,

3-2dy/dx = 0

dy/dx = 3/2

Also for equation (2),

Differentiate with respect to x, we get,

9 - 6dy/dx = 0

dy/dx = 9/6 = 3/2

Since, both lines have same slope so the graph of both equation will be same and hence it will overlap each other.

That is why the Henry  could only see one line.

In a game the player wins if he rolls a 6 on a number cube. If the number cube is rolled 18 times, then what is a reasonable pre
Mamont248 [21]
On a cube, you have 6 faces, therefore you have 1 chance to get 6 and 5 chances not to get 6.

Therefore, the overall probability not to get 6 is 5/6 = 0.8333

If you roll the cube 18 times, the prediction of unsuccessful rolls will be:
18 × 0.8333 = 15

Therefore, you expect to have 15 unsuccessful rolls over 18 total rolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{1} = \frac{3y}{8}

cross multiply

8x = 3y

x = 3/8
