Q. 11e9f+1=5(f3e) 11 e-9 f+1=5(f-3 e) \newline2f+4e=3 2 f+4 e=3 \newlineConsider the system of equations. Which of the following statements is true?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) There is only one solution (e,f) (e, f) and ef e \cdot f is positive.\newline(B) There is only one solution (e,f) (e, f) and ef e \cdot f is negative.\newline(C) There are infinitely many solutions.\newline(D) There are no solutions.
  1. Write system of equations: Write down the system of equations.\newlineWe have the following system of equations:\newline11) 11e9f+1=5(f3e)11e - 9f + 1 = 5(f - 3e)\newline22) 2f+4e=32f + 4e = 3
  2. Simplify first equation: Simplify the first equation.\newlineExpand the right side of the first equation:\newline11e9f+1=5f15e11e - 9f + 1 = 5f - 15e\newlineNow, move all terms involving variables to one side and constants to the other side:\newline11e+15e=5f+9f111e + 15e = 5f + 9f - 1\newlineCombine like terms:\newline26e=14f126e = 14f - 1
  3. Express ee in terms of ff: Express ee in terms of ff.\newlineDivide both sides by 2626 to solve for ee:\newlinee=14f126e = \frac{14f - 1}{26}
  4. Substitute expression for ee: Substitute the expression for ee into the second equation.\newlineReplace ee in the second equation with the expression found in Step 33:\newline2f+4((14f1)/26)=32f + 4((14f - 1) / 26) = 3
  5. Simplify second equation: Simplify the second equation.\newlineMultiply through by 2626 to clear the fraction:\newline26(2f)+4(14f1)=26(3)26(2f) + 4(14f - 1) = 26(3)\newline52f+56f4=7852f + 56f - 4 = 78\newlineCombine like terms:\newline108f4=78108f - 4 = 78
  6. Solve for f: Solve for f.\newlineAdd 44 to both sides:\newline108f=82108f = 82\newlineDivide both sides by 108108:\newlinef=82108f = \frac{82}{108}\newlineSimplify the fraction:\newlinef=4154f = \frac{41}{54}
  7. Substitute value of ff into ee: Substitute the value of ff back into the expression for ee.e=(14(4154)1)/26e = \left(14\left(\frac{41}{54}\right) - 1\right) / 26
  8. Simplify expression to find ee: Simplify the expression to find ee. Multiply 1414 by 41/5441/54: e=(574/541)/26e = (574/54 - 1) / 26 Subtract 11 (which is the same as subtracting 54/5454/54): e=(520/54)/26e = (520/54) / 26 Simplify the fraction: e=20/54/26e = 20/54 / 26 e=10/27e = 10/27
  9. Check solution in original equations: Check the solution in both original equations.\newlineSubstitute e=1027e = \frac{10}{27} and f=4154f = \frac{41}{54} into the original equations to verify the solution:\newline11) 11(1027)9(4154)+1=?5(41543(1027))11\left(\frac{10}{27}\right) - 9\left(\frac{41}{54}\right) + 1 \stackrel{?}{=} 5\left(\frac{41}{54} - 3\left(\frac{10}{27}\right)\right)\newline22) 2(4154)+4(1027)=?32\left(\frac{41}{54}\right) + 4\left(\frac{10}{27}\right) \stackrel{?}{=} 3\newlinePerform the calculations to check if both sides of the equations are equal.
  10. Determine sign of efe*f: Determine the sign of efe*f.\newlineSince both ee and ff are positive fractions, their product will also be positive.
