What is the intercept of y+3=1/2x and y=5x-7x+8

The intercept of 2 equations is a point that verifies both equations. By that I mean that if you replace the coordinates of this point in both equations, you would get the same y.
So, to do this, you use this form of expression: y=y
So you do the equality of both expressions, and find x.
But in your case, we have one equation that is not in the y= form: y+3=1/2x.
So you subtract 3 from each side, making it y=1/2x-3
Now, we can do y=y.
1/2x-3 = 5x-7x+8
1/2x-3=-2x+8
Then, we move the variables to a side, and the numbers to the other side of the expression, so you get:
1/2x + 2x = 8 + 3
5/2x = 11
To find x, you divide both sides by 5/2:
x= 11/(5/2)
x= 11*2/5 (when you divide 2 fractions, the result is equal to the first fraction multiplied by the inverse of the second)
x=22/5

So, the intercept of y+3=1/2x and y=5x-7x+8 is 22/5.

You can check your answer (this is very important):
y+3 = 1/2 * 22/5
y+3 = 22/10
y= -8/10

y=5x-7x+8
y=5(22/5)-7(22/5)+8
y=-8/10

Hope this Helps! :)

Sladkaya [172]

The average price paid by him for the shares after 3 months is ksh. 163.33

<h3>Average</h3>

  • Total value of shares bought = ksh.20,000

  • Amount of shares bought in the first three months = ksh.120, ksh.160 and ksh.210

Average price paid for the shares after 3 months

= (120 + 160 + 210) / 3

= 490 / 3

= 163.333333333333

Approximately,

ksh. 163.33

You order a new pair of running shoes from a website that offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Your shoes cost $69.95.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: x > 75-69.95; you need five dollars and five cents more for free shipping ($5.05)

Step-by-step explanation: i believe this is the correct answer because as long as you have 75 dollars or more, then you will be good so that’s how i got the inequality. to find this you just subtract the amount needed (75) by the amount you have and you get your answer. oh and to be clear x represents the amount needed for free shipping. i am not sure if i understood the problem correctly so i apologize if it is incorrect. i hope this helped and good luck!
