Answer:

Except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general a system of equations can be represented as ax+by=c and dx+ey=f. In order this system of equations to have NO SOLUTIONS a/d=b/a≠c/f. In our example a=6, b=4, c=14, d=3, e=2 and f=k. To apply the formula above, 6/3=4/2≠14/k. Hence k≠7. It can be concluded that except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solutions.

Just for information, if k=7 the system will have infinitely many solutions.

Sample Response: k = 7 proves the equations are equivalent and, therefore, have infinitely many solutions. That is illustrated by the fact that multiplying 2 by 3x +2y = 7 will create the equivalent of 6x + 4y =14.

Adam sells medical magazine and books. the table shows price for both Magazine £8
kumpel [21]

Adam earned a total of £265.10 last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Adam earns a basic pay of £200 each week. He earns 10% of the magazine price for each sold  and 15% of the book price for each sold. Each magazine costs £8 and each book costs £15. He sells 42 magazines and 14 books.

Money earned for selling a magazine = 10% × £8 = 0.10 × £8 = £0.80,

Money earned for selling a book = 15% × £15 = 0.15 × £15 = £2.25,

Money earned for selling 42 magazines = 42 × £0.80 = £33.60,

Money earned for selling 14 books = 14 × £2.25 = £31.50,

Money earned for selling 42 magazines and 14 books = £33.60 + £31.50 =  £65.10.

Step 2; Now we have to calculate his last week's salary which is his weekly pay and his earnings from selling magazines and books. We found that he earned £31.50 from selling books and magazines. His weekly salary is £200.

Last week's salary =  £200 +  £65.10 = £265.10.

starting on the positive x axis and moving 1/3 of the way around the circle in 3 m radius, ow far will it go?
nlexa [21]
You will move 1/3 of the circumference of the circle with a radius of 3m.

C=2πr  so C/3 is:

d=2πr/3, we are told that the radius is 3m so:

d=2π3/3

d=2π m

d≈6.28 m (to nearest hundredth of a meter)

Explain how your work your knowledge of place value helps you divide a number in thousands by whole numbers to 10 give a example
Anna71 [15]
Place value is the value each digit has in its position: in order from higher to lower value, there is thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
When you divide by 10, you are moving (only once) every digit from its present place value to the right.
For example 6430 : 10= 643, you have moved every digit to the right, making the zero disappear (or better yet, separated by a hidden and in this case useless comma).
