260 can ride the ferris wheel in 2 hours.
130 people is the rate per hour.
Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15
- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.
- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.
- Multiply
times 5y - 13.
- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.
- Multiply 3 times .
- Add
to 4y.
- Add
to both sides of the equation.
- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
- Add
to 
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.
- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.
I'm guessing your problem is this:
y³ - 9y² + y - 9 = 0
right?
In solving this problem, I recommend doing this:
y³ - 9y² + y - 9 = 0
Factor out a y² from the first two numbers in the problem:
y²(y - 9) + (y - 9) = 0
Separate the parentheses which means y - 9 goes on one side. The y² added a one since it came from the + 1 in the middle of expression. When you're separating parentheses like this you just take the outside numbers and combine them together. Since + 1 came from the outside of the (y - 9) and y² also was sitting on the outside of (y - 9) combine them to make y² + 1. Like this:
(y² + 1)(y - 9) = 0
Now separate your two parentheses to two separate problems:
(y² + 1) = 0 and (y - 9) = 0
Now you're y² + 1 will equal:
y² = -1
y = √-1 <-- This number doesn't exist so it will be an imaginary number (i). If you guys didn't learn that in your class I recommend just leaving it as i for that part.
Now solve y - 9 = 0:
y = 9 <-- Since we added nine to both sides to get this.
So you're final answer should be y = i and 9
1. m
2. One set of ordered pairs
3. b
To show why this is, I’m going to explain how to write the equation for a linear function with two random sets of ordered pairs - (1,0) and (5, 8).
First, find the slope. The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two sets of points.
This is why #1 is m. M is the letter used when finding slope.
To find m, I plug in the two sets of ordered pairs.
m = (8-0)/(5-1)
m = 8/4
m = 2
An equation for a line (linear function) is written in something called slope-intercept form. It looks like y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (number y equals when x = 0). If m = 3 and b = 1, the equation would be y = 3x + 1.
Here, you have just solved for m and know it equals 2. Plug that value in for m.
y = 2x + b
To solve for b, plug one ordered pair in for x and y. I will use (1,0)
0 = 2(1) + b
0 = 2 + b
-2 = b
Now that you know b = -2, plug that in for b.
y = 2x - 2. Now you have the equation fo the line.
