First of all, you need to know what a 'solution' is, so you'll know it
when you see it.
A 'solution' to an equation is a number, or a set of numbers, that
you can write in place of the variables (the letters), and when you
do that, the equation will have only numbers in it, and it'll be a true
statement.
Your equation has two variables in it ... 'x' and 'y' . In order to find
just a single set of numbers for what both of them must be, you
would need two equations.
The way it stands now, with only one equation, there are actually
an infinite number of solutions. Each solution is a pair of numbers ...
one for 'x' and one for 'y' ... and if you write them into the equation
in place of 'x' and 'y', then the equation is a true statement.
I'll show you how to tell if a pair of numbers is a solution or not.
Here's what that looks like:
Say I give you two pairs of numbers, and I tell you that both of them
are solutions to your equation. The 'solutions' I give you are
x=0
y=1
and
x=2
y=3 .
You don't trust me, and you say to me "Wait just a minute there, dude !
Not so fast. I'll need to check them out and see if those are really solutions
to my equation."
You take the first pair and write it into your equation:
x=1, y=0
9x - 7y = -7
9(0) - 7(1) = -7
0 - 7 = -7
-7 = -7
OK. That's a true statement.
So x=0, y=1 is a solution.
Now check the other one I gave you:
x=2, y=3
9x - 7y = -7
9(2) - 7(3) = -7
18 - 21 = -7
-3 = -7
This is NOT a true statement.
So x=2, y=3 is NOT a solution to your equation.
I pulled a fast one on you. If I was charging you money for solutions,
then you would not pay me for this one, because it's not a solution.
Answer:
Kevin needs 96 points on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The mean score is the total of all scores divided by the total number of tests.
Let
x_1 ----> the score in the first math test
x_2 ----> the score in the second math test
x_3 ----> the score in the third math test
x_4 ----> the score in the fourth math test
we have
After taking the first 3 tests, his mean test score is 88 points
so
----> equation A
How many points does he need on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points?
so
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve for x_4
Therefore
Kevin needs 96 points on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What is 20 as a decimal? To write 20 as a decimal you have to divide numerator by the denominator of the fraction. 20 is not a fraction so it is a decimal already. And finally we have: 20 as a decimal equals 20
Yes,I do 1,110 is a cluster because it’s a very large number for 52 degrees and 189 is because it’s a very large number for 16 degrees.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
6745.09
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume the nominal annual interest rate is 5%, then the future value after 6 years is ...
FV = P(1 +r/12)^(12·t)
for P = 5000, r = .05, t = 6.
Doing the arithmetic, we get ...
FV = 5000(1 +.05/12)^(12·6) ≈ 6745.09
After 6 years, the bank account will be worth 6745.09.
_____
We made a comment about the interest rate, because the annual <em>yield</em> is about 5.116%. If the <em>annual yield</em> is actually 5%, then the account value is lower: $6700.48. (Monthly compounding is irrelevant in that case, because it is already figured into the yield.)
Usually, the wording would be that the account <em>earns</em> 5% interest compounded monthly.
