Brianna is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1.25 and each ride costs $3.75. Brianna spent $18.75 a

ltogether at the carnival and the number of games she played is twice the number of rides she went on. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of games Brianna played, x,x, and the number of rides Brianna went on, yy.

Answer:

6 games and 3 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games Brianna played be x,

and the number of rides she went on be y.

Total cost for games= 1.25x

Total cost for rides= 3.75y

Since number of games is twice the number of rides,

x= 2y -----(1)

Total costs= cost of games +cost of rides

18.75= 1.25x +3.75y

Multiply the whole equation by 4 to remove the decimals:

75= 5x +15y

Simplify by dividing the whole equation by 5:

15 = x + 3y

Label the equation:

x +3y= 15 -----(2)

Although we can solve these 2 equations by substitution, since the question requires us to graphically solve, we have to graph 2 linear lines.

I will choose 3 points to plot on the graph for each equation:

x= 2y -----(1)

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \cline{1-4}x & 2(1) = 2&2(2) = 4&2(3) = 6\\ \cline{1-4}y & 1 &2&3\\ \cline{1-4}\end{tabular}

x +3y= 15 -----(2)

x= -3y +15

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \cline{1-4}x &  -3(1)+15= 12& -3(2)+15= 9& -3(3)+15= 6\\ \cline{1-4}y & 1 &2&3\\ \cline{1-4}\end{tabular}

Let's plot these points on a graph paper. Then, join them with a straight line for each straight line graph. Please see the attached picture for the graph.

From (1): y= ½x

From (2): 3y= 15 -x

y= 5 -⅓x

From the graph, the solution of the equation is (6,3). The solution is the point on the graph in which the 2 lines intersect.

x- coordinate: 6

y- coordinate: 3

Thus, Brianna played 6 games and went on 3 rides.

Answer:

6 games=$7.5  3 rides=$11.25

1.25*6=7.5

3.75*3=11.25

7.5+11.25=18.75

Answer:

A  viable solution is the ordered pair (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The number of books cannot be a negative number

The number of books is a positive integer

The weight cannot be a negative number

therefore

A  viable solution is the ordered pair (0,0)

How do you get an equation to solve for all 3 sides of a triangle?
slavikrds [6]

In your solving toolbox (along with your pen, paper and calculator) you have these 3 equations:

1. The angles always add to 180°:

A + B + C = 180°

When you know two angles you can find the third.

 

2. Law of Sines (the Sine Rule):

Law of Sines

When there is an angle opposite a side, this equation comes to the rescue.

Note: angle A is opposite side a, B is opposite b, and C is opposite c.

 

3. Law of Cosines (the Cosine Rule):

Law of Cosines

This is the hardest to use (and remember) but it is sometimes needed  

to get you out of difficult situations.

It is an enhanced version of the Pythagoras Theorem that works  

on any triangle.

With those three equations you can solve any triangle (if it can be solved at all).

Six Different Types (More Detail)

There are SIX different types of puzzles you may need to solve. Get familiar with them:

1. AAA:

This means we are given all three angles of a triangle, but no sides.

AAA Triangle

AAA triangles are impossible to solve further since there are is nothing to show us size ... we know the shape but not how big it is.

We need to know at least one side to go further. See Solving "AAA" Triangles .

 

2. AAS

This mean we are given two angles of a triangle and one side, which is not the side adjacent to the two given angles.

AAS Triangle

Such a triangle can be solved by using Angles of a Triangle to find the other angle, and The Law of Sines to find each of the other two sides. See Solving "AAS" Triangles.

 

3. ASA

This means we are given two angles of a triangle and one side, which is the side adjacent to the two given angles.

ASA Triangle

In this case we find the third angle by using Angles of a Triangle, then use The Law of Sines to find each of the other two sides. See Solving "ASA" Triangles .

 

4. SAS

This means we are given two sides and the included angle.

SAS Triangle

For this type of triangle, we must use The Law of Cosines first to calculate the third side of the triangle; then we can use The Law of Sines to find one of the other two angles, and finally use Angles of a Triangle to find the last angle. See Solving "SAS" Triangles .

 

5. SSA

This means we are given two sides and one angle that is not the included angle.

SSA Triangle

In this case, use The Law of Sines first to find either one of the other two angles, then use Angles of a Triangle to find the third angle, then The Law of Sines again to find the final side. See Solving "SSA" Triangles .

 

6. SSS

This means we are given all three sides of a triangle, but no angles.

SSS Triangle

In this case, we have no choice. We must use The Law of Cosines first to find any one of the three angles, then we can use The Law of Sines (or use The Law of Cosines again) to find a second angle, and finally Angles of a Triangle to find the third angle.

Does (2,0) work as a solution to the systems of equations to lines 3x+y=6 and 3x-y=6
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if (2,0) works as a solution to the systems of equations, we plug in the values of x and y and simplify. If the results are equal, then (2,0) is a solution.

3x + y = 6:

  • 3(2) + 0 = 6
  • 6 + 0 = 6
  • 6 = 6
  • (2,0) is a solution to this equation.

3x - y = 6:

  • 3(2) - 0 = 6
  • 6 - 0 = 6
  • 6 = 6
  • (2,0) is a solution to this equation.

Therefore, the answer is yes, it does work as a solution.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
