Hey can someone tell me the steps to solving a system of equations with graphing

Answer:

Let's go through the following example to show how to solve a system of equations by graphing. I won't solve this system, I will just show how to.

8x-3y = 17\\4x+y=21

<h3>If you can use an online graphing calculator...</h3>

If you have an online grapher (like Desmos) at your disposal, then you can put each equation in it as it is.

  • Lines intersect -> Put your cursor over the point of intersection to get the solution.
  • Lines never intersect -> The lines are parallel and there is no solution
  • Lines perfectly fall on each other -> The lines are the same and have infinite solutions

<h3>If you have a physical graphing calculator (like TI-84)</h3>

1. Get both equations in the form y=mx+b by solving for y.

8x-3y=17\\-3y=-8x+17\\y=\frac{8}{3}x-\frac{17}{3}               4x+y=21\\y=-4x+21

2. Put both equations in the graphing calculator

  • Lines intersect -> Find the intersection point using your graphing calculator's mechanics (each one is a little different)
  • Lines never intersect -> The lines are parallel and there is no solution
  • Lines perfectly fall on each other -> The lines have the same equation and have infinite solutions

<h3>If you just have graphing paper...</h3>

1. Get both equations into the form y=mx+b by solving for y.

8x-3y=17\\-3y=-8x+17\\y=\frac{8}{3}x-\frac{17}{3}                    4x+y=21\\y=-4x+21

2. Plug in a few different points for x and calculate their y-values.

3. Plot those points on the graph paper

  • Lines intersect -> Find the intersection point's coordinates to get the solution for x and y.
  • Lines never intersect -> The lines are parallel and there is no solution
  • Lines perfectly fall on each other -> The lines have the same equation and have infinite solutions.

The Home Depot has two special lawnmowers for sale this year. The electric mower costs $300 each, and the gas-powered mower cost
spayn [35]

Answer:

300a + 450b ≤ 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of electric mower = $300

Cost of gas mower = $450

Total number of mower = 25

Cost of total mower is at least = $6,000

Find:

Number of each mower equation

Computation:

Number of electric mower = a

Number of gas mower = b

So,

Equations

a + b ≤ 25 ........ Equation 1

300a + 450b ≤ 6000 .......  Equation 1

for homework a student have to complete 15 problems total if she finished 6 problems in class what is the ratio of problem she's
kvv77 [185]
9:6 I think. Because if you subtract 6 from 15 you get 9 and that is how many she needs to finish and she has already finished 6

I need help AND DON'T SAY IDK TO GET POINTS ITS NOT RIGHT
ANEK [815]

Answer:

y = x + 2

y = 2x

y = x + 5

y = 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first three, I don't know how to explain this to you. This is very simple math, I am certain that you would have been able to do this in two minutes if you applied yourself. It would be much faster if you did the work yourself and only used brainly for things that you truly don't understand.

For the fourth answer, consider:

x is miles per 60 minutes.

y is miles per 30 minutes.

30 is half of 60, or 0.5 times 60.

Therefore, y will be equal to 0.5 times x.

y = 0.5x.
