Find the value of q in the following system so that the solution to the system
is {(x, y) : x – 3y = 4} x - 3y=4
2x + qy=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the solution of the system of equations is {(x, y): x - y = 4} - infinitely many solutions, then this system is consistent and dependent.

x - 3y = 4            multiply both sides by 2

2x - 6y = 8

Therefore Q = -6

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
