You isolate one variable. Let's say that x will be that variable in the first equation:
x-y=1
 +y  +y
x=y+1
So now you have the equation for x.  All you have to do is substitute it into the other:
x=y+1
(y+1)+y=3
Combine like terms and solve:
2y+1=3
    -1  -1
2y=2
2y/2=2/2
y=1
Now that you have the value of one, substitute it into either of the equations to find x.
If you put it in the first:
x-1=1
 +1  +1
x=2
If you put it into the other, you would get the same answer.
Therefore, y=1 and x=2

Let a = 0.9876 and b = 0.9887 with N = 2, calculate the midpoint.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

For a=0.9876 and b=0.9887 mid point will be 0.98815

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a = 0.9876 and b = 0.9887

And N = 2

We have to find the mid point

For finding mid point we know that formula

Midpoint =\frac{a+b}{2} , here we have given a=0.9876 and b = 0.9887

So midpoint will be =\frac{0.9876+0.9887}{2}=\frac{1.9763}{2}=0.98815

So for a=0.9876 and b=0.9887 mid point will be 0.98815

What are the slope and y-intercept of the graph of this equation?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

slope = y = 1/2

y-intercept = b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept equation:

y = mx + b----->(equation 1)

m is slope

b is y-intercept

y = 1/2x - 3----->(equation 2)

Compare (equation 1) and (equation 1)

slope = y = 1/2

y-intercept = b = -3
