OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

ok then the first thing that you should go is put the two first equations into standard form, which is y = mx + b

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

so the first equation will be y = -2x + 6 the second equation will be y = -2x + 4

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

\[2x+y=6................(1)\] and \[6x+3y=12................(2)\] from the second equation take 3 common then it will become \[3[2x+y]=12\rightarrow 2x+y=4\]

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

then you graph. for the first equation you graph the 0,4 and then you rise 2, and go right 1

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

plot that point and you have your first line.

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

same process for the first one

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so look those two equations are same with different intersecting values so they are parallel lines

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

so number 3 is C. but how about number 4

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

if u see two lines like this---\[ax+by=c\]and \[ax+by=d\] then ur immediate conclusion will be----lines are parallel

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

nope its B-parallel lines

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

ok but how about number 4

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

try eliminating y by putting y=x+3 inplace of y in second equation \[4x+x+3=18\rightarrow 5x=15\rightarrow x=3\] and now put x=3 in the first eq. u'll get y=3+3=6 so x=3 y=6

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

number 3 is b number 4 is b right?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah right but did u understand the solution

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

yes thank you
