A system of equations only has a unique solution if all the equations are linearly independent (this means that we have two or more equations representing the same curve).
Here we have the system:
a*x + 2*y + 4*z = b
2*x + y + 3*z = a + 1
5*x - 2*y + (a + 1)*z = 3
Now we want to show that if a = -5 or a = 2, then the system does not have a unique solution.
To see this, we can just replace a by these values and see that the equations are not linearly independent.
for a = 2 we get:
2*x + 2*y + 4*z = b
2*x + y + 3*z = 2 + 1
5*x - 2*y + (2 + 1)*z = 3
Simplifying this:
2*x + 2*y + 4*z = b
2*x + y + 3*z = 3
5*x - 2*y + 3*z = 3
From the second and third equation we can write:
2*x + y + 3*z = 3 = 5*x - 2*y + 3*z
2*x + y + 3*z = 5*x - 2*y + 3*z
2*x + y = 5*x - 2*y
3*y = 3*x
y = x
now that we know this, we can rewrite the equations as:
4*(x + z) = b
3*(x + z) = 3
Now we can take the quotient of the two equations to get:
(4*(x + z))/3*(x + z) = (4/3) = b/3
b = 4
Then the equations become:
4*(x + z) = 4
3*(x + z) = 3
Here we can divide te above one by 4 and the below one by 3 to get:
(x + z) = 1
(x + z) = 1
So both equations represent the same line, thus, the system does not have a unique solution.
Now for a = -5:
-5*x + 2*y + 4*z = b
2*x + y + 3*z = -5 + 1
5*x - 2*y + (-5 + 1)*z = 3
Simplify it:
-5*x + 2*y + 4*z = b
2*x + y + 3*z = -4
5*x - 2*y - 4*z = 3
Now we can rewrite the first equation as:
-5*x +2*y - b = -4*z
and the third one as:
-4*z = 3 - 5*x + 2*y
Then we can write:
-5*x +2*y - b = -4*z = 3 - 5*x + 2*y
-5*x +2*y - b = 3 - 5*x + 2*y
Now we can remove the -5*x in both sides to get:
+2*y - b = 3 + 2*y
Now we can remove the 2*y in both sides to get:
-b = 3
b = -3
Replacing this in our system we get:
-5*x + 2*y + 4*z = -3
2*x + y + 3*z = -4
5*x - 2*y -4*z = 3
Now we can multiply the first equation by -1:
-1*(-5*x + 2*y + 4*z)= -1*(-3)
5*x - 2*y - 4*z = 3
This is the same as the third equation, so here we can see that the first and third equations represent the same line, thus, the system of equations does not have a unique solution.

5(x + 8) - 2x = 7(x + 10)
Answer:
-15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x + 8) - 2x = 7(x + 10)
=> 5x + 40 - 2x = 7x + 70
=> 3x + 40 = 7x + 70
=> 3x - 7x = 30
=> -4x = 30
=> x = -30/4
=> x = -15/2

Help!!!!! Pleaseee I don’t understand
Answer:
Question 22: x = 3Question 23: AB = 10Question 24: BD = 14Question 25: CE = 17Concept:
Here, we need to know the idea of the segment addition postulate.
The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.
If you are still confused, you may tell me or refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.
Solve:
Question 22. If AC = 16, what is x?
Given information
AC = 16
AB = x + 7
BC = 2x
Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate
AB + BC = AC
Substitute values into the expression
x + 7 + 2x = 16
Combine like terms
x + 2x + 7 = 16
3x + 7 = 16
Subtract 7 on both sides
3x + 7 - 7 = 16 - 7
3x = 9
Divide 3 on both sides
3x / 3 = 9 / 3
[tex]\boxed {x=3}[/tex]
Question 23. What is AB?
Given information
x = 3
Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate
AB = x + 7
Substitute values into the expression
AB = (3) + 7
[tex]\boxed {AB=10}[/tex]
Question 24. What is BD?
Given information
BC = 2x
CD = 3x - 1
x = 3
Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate
BD = BC + CD
Substitute values into the expression
BD = 2x + 3x - 1
BD = 2(3) + 3(3) - 1
BD = 6 + 9 - 1
BD = 15 - 1
[tex]\boxed {BD=14}[/tex]
Question 25. What is CE?
Given information
CD = 3x - 1
DE = 2x + 3
x = 3
Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate
CE = CD + DE
Substitute values into the expression
CE = 3x - 1 + 2x + 3
CE = 3(3) - 1 + 2(3) + 3
CE = 9 - 1 + 6 + 3
CE = 8 + 6 + 3
CE = 14 + 3
[tex]\boxed {CE=17}[/tex]

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,−3) and has an undefined slope?
Answer:
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that horizontal lines have a slope of zero, while vertical lines have an undefined slope.
Therefore, the line must be vertical.
And since it is vertical, we will only need to consider the x-coordinate of our point.
The x-coordinate of (8, -3) is 8.
Hence, the equation of the line that passes through (8, -3) with an undefined slope is:
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
Answer: x= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a vertical line that passes through point 8 on the x axis.
