Which values of a and b make this system of equations have infinitely many solutions? 2y + 16 = 6x
y = ax + b
a = -3, b = 8
a = -3, b = -8
a = 3, b = -8
a = 3, b = 8

9514 1404 393

  a = 3, b = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the first equation for y, we get ...

  2y +16 = 6x . . . . . given

  y = 8 +3x . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 3x -8 . . . . . . . subtract 8

In order for the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be the same as this:

  y = ax +b

  a = 3, b = -8

8 2/3 is the answer

step-by-step explanation: just use a calculator

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
