Explain how you find ordered-pair solutions of the equation 3x – 5y = 15, and then find two such solutions.'

1 answer:

5 0

The constant on the right is divisible by the coefficients on the left, so two solutions are
(x, y) = (5, 0) or (0, -3)

The slope of the line is 3/5, so increaing y by 3 and x by 5 will result in another solution. One general parametric solution is then
x = 5n
y = 3n-3
_____
Integer values of n will result in integer solutions. Any value of n will yield numbers that satisfy the equation.

In general, the extended Euclidean algorithm can be used to find integer solutions. Then adding multiples of some number n to y and x in the ratio of the slope of the line will yield other solutions.

It should be 40 percent.

You can think of it as starting with 100 as in 100 dollars or 100 tic tacs

If you take away 25%, you take away 25 tic tacs and now you only have 75.

From your 75, you take away 20% which is equal to 15. 75- 15=60

If you look at the end result of 60, you can see that that is 100 - 40 so 40% of the total was taken off
