The system of equations is coincident. What are the missing values?

OpenStudy (tileer139):

x+3y=5 4x+ y=

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"coincident" is another way to describe two lines where one lies on top of the other.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

can u help with this question

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Two "coincident" lines have the same equations, except that one is a multiple of the other.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

all i have to do is find th missing values

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Look at the first (the x-) terms here: x+3y=5 4x+ y= By what number would you have to multiply ALL of the first equation so that the coefficient of the x term there would be the same as the coefficient of x in the second equation?

OpenStudy (tileer139):

4?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes. Good. Multiply the entire first equation by 4 and then type your result here.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

7=5

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please just copy the first equation. Type it here. (7 is never equal to 5.)

OpenStudy (tileer139):

idk how to do it

OpenStudy (mathmale):

All I'm asking you to do is to go back to the original problem statement, find the first equation and type that equation out here.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

nvm im confused

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I need your involvement in this problem solving. If y ou'll go back to the top of our conversation here, you'll find the following: tileer139 Best Response Medals 0 x+3y=5 4x+ y= Find and type the first equation, below.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

x+3y=5 4x+ y=

OpenStudy (mathmale):

There are 2 equations here. Please copy ONLY the first one. Paste it below.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

x+3y=5 i only have 10 minutes

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Now multiply that equation (every term) by 4.

OpenStudy (tileer139):

nvm

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How fast we go here depends primarily on you. I try to ask questions of you that are of an appropriate level. Exactly what are you hoping that I will do for you to help you?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I think you may need a live tutor who can sit down and interact with you, and help you to gain understanding of the materials we've been discussing. Might that be possible for you and your family?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4(x+3y=5)=4x+12y=20
