Answer:
slope: 3 for N and 1/2 for O
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both equations are equal to y, we can just combine them like this:
1/3x-3=-x+5
1/3x=-x+8
4/3x=8 (since x is 1x which is 3/3x)
x=6
Plug x back in:
y=-6+5
y=-1
So x=6 and y=-1
Hope this helped!
Answer:
23 males and 12 females
Step-by-step explanation:
x = # of females
y = # of males
x + y = 35
x + x + 11 = 35
2x + 11 =35 (SUBTRACT 11 FROM BOTH SIDES)
2x = 24 (DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 2)
x = 12 females
x + y =35
12 + y = 35 (SUBTRACT 12 FROM BOTH SIDES)
y = 23 males
23 males + 12 females = 35 students
Two equations with infinite solutions would look the exact same. Example:
y=mx+b
y=mx+b
Example 2
y=2x+5
y=2x+5
For an equation with no solution they would have the same slope but different y intercepts. An equation with same slope and same y intercepts would have infinite solutions.
