How many equations are needed to solve for 1 unknown variable?

1 answer:

4 0

The number of equation/s that are needed in order to solve the problem is equal to the number of the varying variables involved. In this regard, we would say that to solve for 1 unknown variable, only 1 equation is needed.

For number of variables greater than 1, as stated above, the number of equations should be equal to that number. However, it has to be noted that the equations should be independent and not the multiplicative of another.

For the concept of multiplicity,

x + y = 0 and 2x + 2y = 0 are just the same equations.

Hence, the answer to this item is one (1).

Answer:

$50\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous Iron content per serving=1.2 mg

Current Iron content per serving=1.8 mg

Increase in Iron content per serving=1.8-1.2=0.6 mg

Percentage of Iron Increase

$=\dfrac{\text{Increase in Iron Content}}{\text{Previous Iron Content}} X 100\\=\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}X100 \\=50\%$

Someone help and please explain clearly !

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Your $160 is correct.

(b) No, this is not a proportional relationship, because the graph does not go through the origin. That, in turn, is because there is a fixed, up-front cost of $120.

TC(m) = $120 + ($40/month)m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflect over the y-axis: When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).
