An equation is shown below. 2x + y = 3 Part A: Explain how you will show all of the solutions that satisfy this equation. Part B: Determine three different solutions for this equation. Part C: Write an equation that can be paired with the given equation in order to form a system of equations that is inconsistent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which part you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you can help me on the first part, I might be able to do the rest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as y=3-2x, put values of x and calculate the corresponding value of y. plot those points and you will get the solution. basically you will get a straight line and all the points on the straight line are solutions of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can take any value for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But how do I show all of the solutions that satisfy the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And how do I explain that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cannot show all the solutions as you have infinite numbers of solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can plot the graph and say, all the points on the graph are solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When part B says "Determine three different solutions for this equation," are the solutions in coordinate form, like (1,1), for example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thanks for everything! You've been a big help. :)

u r welcome bro :)
