Let x be the number of people at University B
x + (x+3.5) = 9.5
2x +3.5 = 9.5
2x = 6
x = 3 million students at University B
x + 3.5 = 3 + 3.5 = 6.5 million students at University A
If he has $75 and need $93 to make the purchase, he needs to find the difference between what he needs and what he has:
93 - 75 = 18
He needs to borrow $18 to make the purchase.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is that of a an ellipse. The second equation is that of a line.
Attached is the graphs of both of these equations.
<em>If you think about it, there can only be 2 possible ways of solutions (intersection points) of an ellipse and a line.</em>
<em>1. The line will not intersect the ellipse at all, so no solution</em>
<em>2. The line will intersect the ellipse at 2 points maximum</em>
<em />
So, we can clearly see from the reasoning that the maximum number of possible solutions would be 2. The graph attached confirms this as well.
