Graph 3x + 2y = 6. Can someone help with this

Here are two ways to graph it.  You can decide which one seems easier to understand or easier to do:

==>  Manipulate the equation into the "slope-intercept" form, where 'y' is
all alone on one side and everything else is on the other side:

3x + 2y = 6

Subtract  3x  from each side:   2y = -3x + 6

Divide each side by  2 :            y = <em>-3/2</em> x <em>+</em> <em>3</em>

This is the form you want.  Just looking at it, it tells you that the slope
of the line on the graph is (<em>-3/2</em>), and it crosses the y-axis at  <em>+3</em> .
That's enough information to draw the line.
===============================================

=>  Another way:

Look at the x-axis and the y-axis on the graph paper ... without any graph drawn on it yet.  Just look at the 2 axes.

With an 'x'-number and a 'y'-number, you can find any point on it. Right ?

OK.  Notice that at every point on the y-axis, x = 0 .  And at every point
on the x-axis, y = 0.  This can be very very helpful.

Now take your equation:    <u>3x + 2y = 6 .</u>

You know that the graph is going to be a straight line.  And it's pretty obvious that if the line isn't horizontal or vertical, then it has to cross both the x-axis and the y-axis somewhere.  If you had an easy way to find the two points where it crosses the axes, you could join those 2 points and you'd have your line !

You DO have an easy way to find those points !

If x=0, then the point is on the y-axis.  Take your equation, make x=0, and it'll show you where the line crosses the y-axis:

                         3(0) + 2y = 6 .

                                    2y = 6 .

Divide each side by 2 :  y = 3 .

There's one point on the line:  (0, 3)

Now remember that if y=0 the point is on the x-axis.  So take your equation
and make y=0:

                                      3x + 2(0) = 6

                                      3x          = 6

Divide each side by 3 :    x = 2 

There's another point on the line, where it crosses the x-axis:  (2, 0) .

Shazam !  You have the 2 points where the line crosses the x- and
y- axes.  Mark each one with a little dot,  put your ruler down along
them, draw a line between them, and extend it as far in each direction
as you want to.  That's the graph of your equation.

Plot these coordinates then draw a line through them and that is the line.

What are the roots of the polynomial equation
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

-4 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the determinant:

D = b^2 - 4ac = 49 - 48 = 1

Apply the formula:

x = (-b +- sqrt(D))/2a = (-7 +- 1)/2 = -4 or -3

5(y-4)=7(2y+1)<br>I need the answer​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: y = -3

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

<u>Add -14y to each side of the equation</u>

<u></u>-20 + 5y + -14y = 7 + 14y + -14y<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Combine like terms: 5y + -14y = -9y </u>

<u></u>-20 + -9y = 7 + 14y + -14y<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Combine like terms: 14y + -14y = 0 </u>

<u></u>-20 + -9y = 7 + 0\\-20 + -9y = 7<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Add '20' to each side of the equation</u>

<u></u>-20 + 20 + -9y = 7 + 20<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0 </u>

<u></u>0 + -9y = 7 + 20\\-9y = 7 + 20<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Combine like terms: 7 + 20 = 27 </u>

<u></u>-9y = 27<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Divide each side by -9</u>

<u></u>-9y/9=27/-9\\y=-3<u></u>

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

14,621 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says at the beginning of the question that the school district collected 14,621 lbs. of recycling. The part where it says that the school district collected 3,943 lbs. of recycling more than last year is un-needed information.
