The number of apples in the basket are; 24 apples

<h3>How to simplify simultaneous equations?</h3>

Let there be X number of apples and Y number of oranges.

Thus by the given ratio we can say that;

x/y = 3/8   -----(1)

(x — 1)/y = 1/3

3x — 3 = y   ----(2)

Substitute 3x - 3 for y in eq 1 to get;

x/(3x - 3) = 3/8

8x = 9x - 9

9x - 8x = 9

x = 9

Thus;

y = 3(9) - 3

y = 24 apples

Given the system of linear equations.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Part A:


x + y = 9

4x + y = 6


To solve this system using substitution, begin by isolating either x or y in the first equation. I'll isolate x.


x + y = 9

x = 9 - y


Substitute this expression (9 - y) into the second equation for x and solve.


4x + y = 6

4(9 - y) + y = 6

36 - 4y + y = 6

36 - 3y = 6

-3y = -30

y = 10


To find x, substitute 10 for y into either of the original equations.


x + y = 9

x + 10 = 9

x = -1


Finally, check all work by substituting the x- and y-values into each original equation.


x + y = 9   -->   -1 + 10 = 9   -->   9 = 9   -->   True

4x + y = 6   -->   4(-1) + 10 = 6   -->   -4 + 10 = 6   -->   6 = 6   -->   True


The answer for Part A is x = -1 and y = 10; (-1, 10).


Part B:


For graphing, it's easier to get the equations into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To get our equations into slope-intercept form, we must simply isolate y.


x + y = 9

y = 9 - x

y = -x + 9


4x + y = 6

y = 6 - 4x

y = -4x + 6


Now that we have our slope-intercept equations, we can easily graph them, since their slopes and y-intercepts are readily visible.



Let's start with the y-intercepts. They are (0, 9) and (0, 6). You can plot those points on the graph.


Now, the slopes. The slope of the first line is -1, this means it declines. To plot this, start where you plotted the y-intercept, count one unit down, and then one unit to the right, and plot that point. Continue doing that and connect the dots, and you will have plotted the first line. The slope of the second line is -4, so it also declines. For this line, count four units down, and then one to the right and plot that point. Likewise, continue this and connect the coordinates, and you will have your line. (See attachment for graph.)


The lines do indeed intersect at (-1, 10); our answer is verified by graphing.

How are determinants used to find areas of polygons?
ANTONII [103]
When you arrange the N points in sequence around the polygon (clockwise or counterclockwise), the area is half the magnitude of the sum of the determinants of the points taken pairwise. The N determinants will also include the one involving the last point and the first one.

For example, consider the vertices of a triangle: (1,1), (2,3), (3,-1). Its area can be computed as
  (1/2)*|(1*3-1*2) +(2*-1-3*3) +(3*1-(-1)*1)|
  = (1/2)*|1 -11 +4| = 3

The product of two mixed numbers x and y is 10. If x= _ 2/3 and y=_ 3/4 ,<br> find x and y?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

  • x = 2 2/3
  • y = 3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There may be other ways to do this. Here's the approach I took. Let the integer part of x be represented by "a", and the integer part of y be represented by "b". Now, we have ...

  (a +2/3)(b +3/4) = 10

Multiplying by 12, this becomes ...

  (3a +2)(4b +3) = 120

There are only 16 divisors of 120, so they can be easily enough checked one at a time.

  120 = 1·120 = 2·60 = 3·40 = 4·30 = 5·24 = 6·20 = 8·15 = 10·12

Of these divisors, the ones that are of the form 3a+2 are ...

  2, 5, 8, 20 . . . . a=0, 1, 2, 6

The ones that are of the form 4b+3 are ...

  3, 15 . . . . b = 0, 3

The factor pair that consists of a number on the first list and a number on the second list is ...

  120 = 8·15

corresponding to a=2 and b=3. So, the mixed numbers you want are ...

  x = 2 2/3

  y = 3 3/4

_____

<em>Check</em>

  (2 2/3)·(3 3/4) =2·3 +2·3/4 +2/3·3 +2/3·3/4 = 6 +6/4 +2 +2/4 = 8+8/4 = 10
