Question

the equation 2 X + 4 Y = 8 and aX + 8 = 16 represent the same straight line if a is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

When the coefficients of two straight lines are proportional they are called identical(same) straight lines.

Let us assume, the straight lines

ax + by + c = d

a2x + b2y + c2=d2  are identical then

a/a2=b/b2=c/c2=d/d2.

therefore we have a=2 ;a2=8 ;b=4,b2=?

b2=(8*4)/2

b2=16.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

aX= 16-8

8

which implies a is multiple of 2

2X+4Y= 8

so the value of a is 2
