Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
y = - 2x + 5
y = -2x + 20
Set the two equations equal
- 2x + 5 = -2x + 20
Add 2x to each side
- 2x+2x + 5 = -2x+2x + 20
5 = 20
This is never true so there are no solutions
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We are given this system of equations:
y=-2x+5
y=-2x+20
and we want to find the solution (the point in which the lines intersect)
There are 3 ways to solve a system, but let's use substitution in this case
Both equations are set to y, so they should be equal to each other via a property known as transitivity (if a=b and b=c, then a=c)
-2x+5=-2x+20 (the same as y=y)
Now let's solve for x
add 2x to both sides
5=20
In this case, we got an untrue statement. If this happens, then the lines won't intersect.
If they won't intersect, there's no solution
Hope this helps!
