Explanation
Correct answer: 2/7,.2857,0.285,0.286.
It's given that the system has infinitely many solutions. A system of two linear equations has infinitely many solutions if and only if the two linear equations are equivalent. Multiplying each side of the first equation in the system by yields , or . Since this equation is equivalent to the second equation and has the same right side as the second equation, the coefficients of and , respectively, should also be the same. It follows that and . Therefore, the value of is , or . Note that 2/7, .2857, 0.285, and 0.286 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
Desmos solution:
Note: For infinitely many solutions, set the slopes equal using m=-(A/B); the regression solves r = g/k directly.

I changed both of the equations into slope intercept form. I can solve for the constants so that each term is equal to the one in the first equation. 10/49 is equivalent to 5/2(24.5), so k=24.5. 10/35 is equivalent to 7/24.5, so g=7. 7/24.5 is equivalent to g/k and it gave me 2/7.
