Question

Please help!
For what values of t is 2x-3y=5 and 8x-12y=t inconsistent?

Answer 1

D: i dont remember this section

Answer 2

are u talking about slopes and intercepts?

Answer 3

No its a system of equations. the goal is to get both equations to NOT equal each other but I'm not sure how to exactly solve it.

Answer 4

idk i forget sorry :(

Answer 5

that's okay, do you know anyone that could help me?

Answer 6

Answer 7

give @Ilovepurple42043 the link

Answer 8

they are inconsistent if they have no solution
Hint:- Multiply each term in the first equation by 4
What do you get?

Answer 9

8x-12y=5

Answer 10

no
its not 5

its 5*4

Answer 11

Oh, I forgot that part, so it'd be 8x-12y=20

Answer 12

OK
these 2 equations will give the same line if plotted
Now for any other value of the last number - ie not 20 , The graphs of the lines would be parallel and be inconsistent

Answer 13

So t = any real number except 20.
