If 11250 = m(600) + b and 7650 = m(400) + b, how do I find the values of b and m? I forgot how to compare when I have two differ

ent values. If someone can find me a lesson online or show work, that would be the best. I do not simply need answers, thank you.

Answer:

b=450 and m=18

Step-by-step explanation:

This exercise is an example of <em>linear system equations</em>. A <em>system of linear equations</em> is a set of (linear) equations that have more than one unknown. The unknowns appear in several of the equations, but not necessarily in all of them. What these equations do is relate the unknowns to each other.

The easy way to solve this problem is by using the<em> reduction method</em>.The <em>reduction method</em> consists of operating between the equations, such as adding or subtracting both equations, so that one of the unknowns disappears. Thus, we obtain an equation with a single unknown.

Ordering the equations as a system equations.

\left \{ {{600m+b=11250} \atop {400m+b=7650}} \right.

Using the reduction method, let's substract the second equation with the first equation, in order to clear m.

600m + b = 11250

<u>-400m -  b = -7650</u>

200m       = 3600    -------->  m = 3600/200 -----> m = 18

We can substitute the value of m in any of the two equations to obtain the unknow b.

Let's substitute the value of m in the second equation.

400(18) + b = 7650

7200 + b = 7650 -----> b = 7650 - 7200 -------> b = 450

We can check this values in both equations.

600m + b = 11250 -----> 600(18) + 450 = 11250

400m + b = 7650 ----->  400(18) + 450 = 7650

Satisfying the result of both equations.

Find the distance between these points: (-3, 8) and (-5,1)
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

7.28011

Step-by-step explanation:

X1 =-3

X2 =-5

Y1 =8

Y2 =1

Distance Formula = √(X2-X1)²+ (Y2-y1)²

Step 1. calculate (X2-X1)²

(-5 - -3)2 = 4

Step 2. calculate (Y2-Y1)²

(1 - 8)2 = 49

Step 3. calculate √4 + 49

                = 7.28011

PLEASE HELP! FIRST AND BEST ANSWER WILL BE MARKED BRAINLIST!!<br> second sections
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Well, for one thing I can't read the image--it's too small!

But I know these problems well. If I am correct, this is a spinner probability problem.

Your spinner appears to have 5 sectors, all equal in area, therefore making their probability equal.

So each of those has a prob of 1/5 in the scheme of things.

To find the combonational probability below, multiply the prob of each outcome together to find each.

Have a great day, and feel free to comment with questions!
