Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions? y = -2x + 4
6x + 3y =
a. -12
b. -4
c. 4
d. 12

d. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

if you rewrite the first as 2x + y = 4 and then multiply it by 3, it is equal to the second equation if the right hand side is 12.

If a system of equations contains dependent equations (ie., equal give or take a scale factor), then there is not one single solution but many.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
