Answer:

option 3 and 5 are correct i.e.

3) Create a pair of equations with different slopes.

5) Create a pair of lines that intersect at only one point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since for a system of equations to have a unique solution we must have the following properties:

1)

if we will create  a pair of equivalent equations then we can't get a unique value of x and y we will get that either x is depending on y or y is depending on x i.e. we will have a variable equation.

Hence option 1) is not correct.

2)

Create a pair of lines in which one line lies directly on top of the other.

If such a case happens than also we have same equation for both the lines and like 1) we do not get a unique solution.

Hence option 2) is not correct.

3)

Create a pair of equations with different slopes.

such a case will help us to get a unique solution since we will be able to solve the system of equations by means of method of elimination.

Hence, option 3) is correct.

4)

Create a pair of lines that will always stay the same distance apart.

If such a case will happen than that means the two lines are parallel and hence the equations are equivalent.

Hence, option 4) is incorrect.

5)

Create a pair of lines that intersect at only one point.

if such a condition is true than the intersection point is the value of x and y.

hence we will get a unique value.

Hence, option 5) is true.

3 and 5 are the correct choices. as long as the 2 lines have different slopes they intersect at only one point

Each month Liz pays $35 to her phone company just to use the phone. Each text she sends costs her an additional $0.05. In March
olchik [2.2K]
First let's set up an equation: 35+0.05t. 
35 is the phone rate per month plus the number of texts (t) times 0.05 (cost of 1 text)

Now we can find the amount of texts she sent each month.

March
 35+0.05t=72.60
-35               -35
0.05t=37.60
------   -------
0.05    0.05
t=752

April
 35+0.05t=65.85
-35            -35
0.05t=30.85
------   -------
0.05    0.05
t=617

She sent 752 texts in March and 617 texts in April.

Jenna offers regular haircuts for $25 and haircuts plus coloring for $42.This weekend had a total of 24 clients and Jenna earned
shepuryov [24]
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Jenna did 16 regular haircuts
Jenna did 8 haircuts with coloring

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Assume that the number of regular haircuts is x and the number of haircuts plus coloring is y

<u>We are given that:</u>
<u>1- Jenna did a total of 24 clients, this means that:</u>
x + y = 24
This can be rewritten as:
x = 24 - y ...............> equation I

<u>2- regular haircuts cost $25, haircuts plus coloring cost $42 and she earned a total of $736. This means that:</u>
25x + 42y = 736 ..........> equation II

<u>Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:</u>
25x + 42y = 736
25(24-y) + 42y = 736
600 - 25y + 42y = 736
17y = 136
y = 8

<u>Substitute with y in equation I to get x as follows:</u>
x = 24 - y
x = 24 - 8
x = 16

<u>Based on the above:</u>
Jenna did 16 regular haircuts
Jenna did 8 haircuts with coloring

Hope this helps :)

The cost to ride a ferris wheel is $2.00 per person. The ferris wheel has a capacity of 64 people. The amount of money collected
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The ferris wheel has a maximum capacity of 64, the domain is [0,64]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

the maximum number of people that can seat on the ferris wheel = 64

the minimum number of people that can seat on the ferris wheel = 0

Function to calculate the amount of money

M(p)=2p

Value of p can be any integer from zero to 64 so the domain of this function is

0 ≤ x ≤ 64

What is the difference between factoring and solving ?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.
