Answer:
There is no solution to the problem
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the solutions to the problem you can write the situation in an algebraic form.
You have that a number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. This can be written as follow:
(1)
where x is the number and y is the smaller number
Furthermore, the same number x is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1, which can be written as follow:
(2)
To find the solution you equal the equation (1) with (2), and you solve for y:
You obtain an inconsistency, hence, the situation of the problem does not have solution
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
defining variables:
since you are trying to find t shirt cost and jeans cost, your variables would be
the cost of the t shirt and the cost of jeans, denoted by any variable you want.
I'll use x and y since they are the most common variables (x = shirt y = jeans)
Equation
4 shirts + 5 jeans = 160 dollars
4x + 5y = 160 (the cost of 4 shirts + the cost of 5 jeans is $160)
the cost of 2 shirts + 6 jeans = $150
2x + 6y = 150
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Slope (m) = ⁴/3
Point on the line = (x, y) = (3, 2)
Required:
Write the equation in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b
Solution:
Since we know the slope(m), we need to find the y-intercept (b).
This, substitute (x, y) = (3, 2) and m = ⁴/3 into y = mx + b, and solve for b. Thus:
2 = ⁴/3(3) + b
2 = 4 + b
2 - 4 = b
-2 = b
b = -2
To write the equation, substitute m = ⁴/3 and b = -2 into y = mx + b
The origin is where the y axis and x axis meet which is (0,0)
