Mathematics

2x+3y= 12

To solve for the x intercept, y=0

2x+3(0)= 12

2x= 12

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2x= 12/2x

X= 6

So:(6,0)

To solve for y intercept, x=0

2(0)+3y= 12

3y= 12

Divide both sides by 3

3y/3y= 12/3

Y= 4

So: (0,4)

2x + 3y = 12
2x - 2x + 3y = 12 - 2x
<u>3y</u> = <u>12 - 2x</u>
 3          3
  y = 4 - 2/3x
2x + 3(4 - 2/3x) = 12
2x + 12 - 2x = 12
2x - 2x + 12 = 12
0x + 12 = 12
<u>       -12   -12</u>
        <u>0x</u> = <u>0</u>
         0     0
         x = 0
2(0) + 3y = 12
0 + 3y = 12
<u>-0          -0  </u>
      <u>3y</u> = <u>12</u>
       3      3
        y = 4
  (x, y) = (0, 4)

List the measurements with units of kilometers, centimeters, and
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

0.004 km; 400 cm; 4000 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 km = 1000 m

1 = (1 km)/(1000 m)

4 m * (1 km)/(1000 m) = 4/1000 km = 0.004 km

1 m = 100 cm

1 = (100 cm)/(1 m)

4 m * (100 cm)/(1 m) = 400 cm

1 m = 1000 mm

1 = (1000 mm)/(1 m)

4 m * (1000 mm)/(1 m) = 4000 mm

Answer: 0.004 km; 400 cm; 4000 mm

How do you make 'a' the subject of the formula: ab - cd = ac
xxTIMURxx [149]
First bring all terms in 'a' to the left side of the formula by subtracting ac from both sides

ab - ac - cd = ac - ac 
ab - ac - cd = 0
now add cd to both sides
ab - ac -cd + cd = cd
ab - ac = cd
now factor the left side by taking out the 'a' 
a(b-c) = cd
now divide both sides by (b-c)
a = cd / (b-c)
done
