Find a and b if the points p(6,0) and q(3,2) lie on the graph of ax + by =12

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

$a= 2$

$b = 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x,y) = (6,0)$

$q(x,y) = (3,2)$

$ax + by = 12$

Required

Find a and b

In $p(x,y) = (6,0)$ , $x = 6$ and $y = 0.$

This gives:

$a*6 + b*0 = 12$

$6a = 12$

Divide by 6

$a= 2$

In $q(x,y) = (3,2)$ . $x = 3$ and $y = 2.$

This gives:

$a*3 + b*2 = 12$

$3a + 2b = 12$

Substitute 2 for a

$3*2 + 2b = 12$

$6 + 2b = 12$

Collect Like Terms

$2b = 12 - 6$

$2b = 6$

Divide by 2

$b = 3$

Kristin wants to buy a pair of jeans that cost $35 and are on sale

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$51.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find 20% of $35, then add the sale price of the jeans and the two t-shirts. Take the total and find the sales tax and add that onto the cost.

100 - 20 = 80 If you multiply the jeans by 80% it gives you the price for the jeans saving you from having to subtract the discount from the original price.

35 * 0.80 = $28.00 jeans 28.00 47.98

9.99 <u>+ 3.12</u>

<u> + 9.99</u> $51.10

47.98

<u>X 0.065</u>

$3.12
