Question

The system of equations is inconsistent.

What are the missing values?
5x + ___ y=2
___x + 3y = 8

Answer 1

If you do the SAME thing and get DIFFERENT answers, that is INCONSISTENT.

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

inconsistent means there will not be a solution to the system of two lines. In other words, the two lines will not intersect, and are parallel.

Answer 4

Are "8" and "2" the SAME?

Answer 5

An easy way to determine if two lines are parallel from the given form above...

Ax + By = E
Cx + Dy = F

If the constants are a multiple of one another than the lines are parallel. If you can multiply, Ax+By by some number , and get Cx+Dy, the lines will be parallel.

Answer 6

So if you let the first equation be...

5x + 1y = 2

you can see that the second equation will be 3 times the first, The first will have 1y, and the second has 3y.
So you have to multiply the 5x by 3

Answer 7

3*(5x + 1y) ---> 15x + 3y

Answer 8

The first blank is 3
the second blank is 5
therefore the same things cannot add up to 2 and 8 at the same time X) hope this helped

Answer 9

hmm makes sense

Answer 10

it did thankyou this is one of the subjects i am bad it

Answer 11

It's alright hope you understand it better now

Answer 12

i do :)

Answer 13

As long as the coefficients on X and Y in the second line are a multiple of the coefficients of X and Y in the second line.

Using 3 and 5, means that they used a multiple of 1. keep that in mind ;)

Answer 14

\(5x + 3y = \;\;2\)
\(\underbrace{5x + 3y} = \underbrace{8}\)
\(SAME\;\;\;Different\)

Inconsistent.
