A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
Answer:
23rd term of the arithmetic sequence is 118.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have been given first term a1 = 8 and 9th term a9 = 48
we have to find the 23rd term of this arithmetic sequence.
Since in an arithmetic sequence
here a = first term
n = number of term
d = common difference
since 9th term a9 = 48
48 = 8 + (9-1)d
8d = 48 - 8 = 40
d = 40/8 = 5
Now
= 8 + (23 -1)5 = 8 + 22×5 = 8 + 110 = 118
Therefore 23rd term of the sequence is 118.

Answer:
29 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The original speed is given in miles per hour (like a car), but the answer is asking for miles per minute, so we must convert the speed into miles per minute first. To do this, we set up this equation: which equals . We can then divide the desired number of miles by the speed in miles per minute. Here is the eqaution for this . The miles cancel and you are just left with 29.1 minutes after you divide 4.9 by 0.168333333. Hope this helps!
