Question

(05.01)

Given the equation 4x + 2y = 9, which equation below would cause an inconsistent-independent system?

Answer 1

You have not listed the four possible answers.
Before you go any further, look up and type out the definition of "inconsistent system of linear equations."

Answer 2

(05.01)

Given the equation 4x + 2y = 9, which equation below would cause an inconsistent-independent system?

6x + 12y = 13
2x + y = −6
x − 2y = 7
8x − 4y = −5

Answer 3

that's better. Now, what is the definition of "inconsistent-independent system?"

Answer 4

inconsistent has no solutions

Answer 5

or non campatible with the other @mathmale

Answer 6

And so, what is your answer to this question?

Answer 7

i am not sure i think D?

Answer 8

Explain your answer, please.

Answer 9

You are given 4x + 2y = 9.

You "think" the answer equation for which this system is inconsistent is D.

D is 8x − 4y = −5. It can be shown that the system

4x + 2y = 9
8x - 4y = -5

has a solution. Therefore, D could not be correct.

Choose another answer choice. Determine whether or not the given equation and your answer choice have a solution.

Answer 10

You are given four possible answer choices. You must find the answer choice that produces an inconsistent system, or, in other words, produces a system that has no solution.

Work through these four answer choices until you find the one that produces a system with no solution. Hint: it's NOT D.
