So for this question (for finding x and y) you will want to use elimination. To do this you will need to bring the x and y to the same side (I put them on the left):
-3/2x+y=6
x+y=0
Now subtract the y on the bottom from the top to isolate x:
3/2x=6
Now the easiest way to bring over the 3/2 to isolate the x fully is to convert it to decimal (1.5) and divide it by 6 (because when multiplication on one side of problem the only way to bring it over is to divide):
x=6/1.5
which simplifies to:
x=4
Hope this helps!
Answer: To clear an equation of decimals, multiply each term on both sides by the power of ten that will make all the decimals whole numbers. In our example above, if we multiply .25 by 100, we will get 25, a whole number. Since each decimal only goes to the hundredths place, 100 will work for all three terms.
So let's multiply each term by 100 to clear the decimals:
(100)0.25x + (100)0.35 = (100)(-0.29)
25x + 35 = -29
Now we can solve the equation as normal:
25x + 35 - 35 = -29 - 35
25x = -64
x = -2.56 Since the original was in decimal form, the answer should most likely also be in decimal form.
Let's look at one more:
1.75x + 4 = 6.2
We have to think a little more carefully about what multiple of ten to use here. 6.2 only needs to be multiplied by 10, but 1.25 needs 100, so we will multiply every term by 100. Don't forget to multiply the 4 by 100 as well.
(100)(1.75x) + (100)(4) = (100)(6.2)
175x + 400 = 620
We had to be extra careful as we multiplied by 100. Now we can solve the equation as normal:
175x + 400 - 400 = 620 - 400
175x = 220
x = 1.26
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First of all arrange the data set in either ascending or descending order.
12, 19, 24, 26, 31, 38, 53. N = 7 (number of data items)
Median position = 1/2(N + 1)th item = 1/2(7 + 1)th item = 1/2(8)th item = 4th item = 26
First quatile = 1/4(N + 1)th item = 1/4(7 + 1)th item = 1/4(8)th item = 2nd item = 19
Third quatile = 3/4(N + 1)th item = 3/4(7 + 1)th item = 3/4(8)th item = 6th item = 38
Interquatile range = Third quartile - first quatile = 38 - 19 = 19
