A(0.3−y)+1.1+2.4x (y−1.2) =0 =−1.2(x−0.5) consider the system of equations above, where aaa is a constant. for which value of aaa is there exactly one (x, y)(x, x, comma, y, )solution where y = 1.3y=1.3y, equals, 1, point, 3? round your answer to the nearest tenth.

For a = 1.22 there is one solution where y = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the system of equations:

a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0

-1.2(x-0.5) = 0

Let´s solve the second equation for x:

-1.2(x-0.5) = 0

x- 0.5 = 0

x = 0.5

Now let´s repalce x = 0.5 and y = 1.3 in the first equation and solve it for a:

a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0

a(0.3 - 1.3) + 1.1 + 2.4(0.5)(1.3 -1.2) = 0

a(-1) + 1.1 + 1.2(0.1) = 0

-a + 1.22 = 0

-a = -1.22

a = 1.22

Let´s check the solution and solve the system of equations with a = 1.22. Let´s solve the first equation for y:

1.22(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4(0.5)(y-1.2) = 0

0.366 - 1.22y + 1.1 + 1.2 y - 1.44 = 0

-0.02y +0.026 = 0

-0.02y = -0.026

y = -0.026 / -0.02

y = 1.3

Then, the answer is correct.
