The graph of a system of linear equations results in 2 coincidental lines. Which of the following is true about this graph? The system has 1 solution The system has no solutions The system has infinite solutions Not enough information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me plz

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Well, coincident lines are two lines that sit on top of each other. What's your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 solution

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

No, not quite. A "solution" is pretty much just a way of saying "the point at which the two lines meet".

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Because the two lines never separate, how many "solutions" would you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has no salutions

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Not quite|dw:1408384249915:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinate

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

|dw:1408384299757:dw|

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u u are awesome I have some more do u mind helping me

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u one sec

A waiter earned $23 in tips in an hour. He was paid in $1 bills and $5 bills. Use a model to determine how many $5 bills he received if he received a total of 15 bills. 1 2 3 4

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Let's say x stands for the number of $1 bills and y stands for the number of $5 bills.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

\[1x+5y=23\]and\[x+y=15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its 3

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Solve the following system: \[x+5 y = 23 \]\[x+y = 15 \]Subtract equation 1 from equation 2: \[x+5 y = 23 \]\[0 x-4 y = -8 \]Divide equation 2 by -4: \[x+5 y = 23 \]\[0 x+y = 2 \]Subtract 5 × (equation 2) from equation 1: \[x+0 y = 13 \]\[0 x+y = 2 \] Collect results:

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

\[y=?\]\[x=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk XD

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Simplify those last two equations and you'll have your answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I simplfy

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

You just get rid of any extra stuff you don't need. What does 0*x equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

And what does that leave you with on 0x+y=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2 x=0

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

You got Y right, but how is 0y+x=13 true if you say x=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=13

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Yes, so you had two $5 bills and thirteen $1 bills :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank u u are realy smart I have some more

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Haha no problem. Okay

A hotel lobby can seat 19 people at chairs and loveseats. The lobby has a total of 12 pieces of furniture for seating. Assuming a chair seats 1 person and a loveseat seats 2, how many loveseats are in the lobby? 4 5 6 7

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

You'll do this like we did the last one. Loveseats are y and chairs are x.

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

\[2y+1x=19\]\[x+y=12\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Solve the following system: \[x+2 y = 19 \]\[x+y = 12 \]Subtract equation 1 from equation 2: \[x+2 y = 19 \]\[0 x-y = -7 \]Multiply equation 2 by -1: \[x+2 y = 19 \]\[0 x+y = 7 \]Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1: \[x+0 y = 5 \]\[0 x+y = 7 \]Collect results:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=5 y=7

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Yes, very good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the awnser is b

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

No, \[5+7*2=19\]

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

The loveseats each sit two people, so D is your answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry ok

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

No problem

Stan's Equipment charges $10 plus $6 per hour to rent a lawnmower. Lawns-n-More charges $15 plus $5 per hour. The system of linear equations is graphed below. Match the number of rental hours with the statement that best describes the graph at that number of hours.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Match Term Definition 1 hr A) Lawns−n−More is cheaper. 5 hrs B) Stan's Equipment is cheaper. 6 hrs C) Stan's Equipment can be assumed to be more expensive. 8 hrs D) Stan's Equipment and Lawns−n−More would charge the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@DangerousJesse

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

One second, I'm going to draw it out.

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

You see how they form an "x"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

That means that there is one solution to this (Solution= point at which the lines meet). At which hour do you see the solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jesse

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Hm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am on a deadline with this test and I have to finish quick I just wanted to know if u could give me the awnsers plzzzzzzzzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this test is very important to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello......

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

The prices are the same at the five hour mark, and Stan's price is lower before the five hour mark. After the five hour mark, stan's price is higher and Lawns 'n' More is lower.

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

How would you make that match the list?

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

1 hr B) Stan's Equipment is cheaper. 5 hrs A) Lawns−n−More is cheaper. 6 hrs D) Stan's Equipment and Lawns−n−More would charge the same. 8 hrs C) Stan's Equipment can be assumed to be more expensive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yhank u have a few more

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Okay

Britany and Steven are taking two different vocal classes. The total cost c for each class is based on the number of class hours h as shown in the tables below. Based on the information in the tables, which statement is NOT true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Britany and Steven pay the same total amount for 3 classes. For one hour, Britany's class is cheaper than Steven's class. Neither class has a registration fee. For four hours, Britany's class costs less

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

C, you can't tell that just by looking at the charts.

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Never mind, the answer is A. If no hours are free, then registration is free.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

The graph of a system of linear equations shows 2 lines with different slopes. Part 1: What type of lines are they? Part 2: Are the x and y intercepts the same or different? Part 3: How many solutions would this system of equations have?

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Is there a graph or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

They are intercepting lines with the same x and y intercepts and one solution.
