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.

10x-5 9x+2 is my equation and I don’t know how to solve it I really need help,someone please help me solve it.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.

The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.

We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:

  10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2

  x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify

Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:

  x -5 +5 = 2 +5

  x = 7 . . . . simplify

The solution is x = 7.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
