Solving systems of linear equations by graphing 2x+3y=-12 and 10x+3y=12

Answer:

  (x, y) = (3, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

I like a good graphing calculator for solving systems of equations by graphing.

__

If you're solving these by hand, you need to graph the equations. It can be convenient to put the equations into "intercept form" so you can use the x- and y-intercepts to draw your graph.

That form is ...

  x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1

Dividing a standard-form equation by the constant on the right will put it in this form.

  x/(-12/2) +y/(-12/3) = 1 . . . . . . divide the first equation by -12

  x/(-6) +y/(-4) = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . the x-intercept is -6; the y-intercept is -4

__

  x/(12/10) +y/(12/3) = 1 . . . . . . divide the second equation by 12

  x/1.2 +y/4 = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . the x-intercept is 1.2*; the y-intercept is 4

__

The locations of these intercepts and the slopes of the lines tell you that the solution will be in the fourth quadrant. The lines intersect at (x, y) = (3, -6).

_____

* It can be difficult to draw an accurate graph using an intercept point that is not on a grid line. It may be desirable to put the second equation into slope-intercept form, so you can see the rise/run values that let you choose grid points on the line. That equation is y =-10/3x +4. A "rise" of -10 for a "run" of +3 will get you to (3, -6) starting from the y-intercept of (0, 4).

What is the value of a in the equation 304 b =54, when b =9? O 15 O 18 0 21 O 27
Serhud [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure where a is supposed to be in this equation, but I'm going to assume it's supposed to be written as either 3a x 4b = 54, or 304b = 54a. If it's something else, let me know, but I'll just answer these two for now.

1. 3a x 4b

So we know that b is equal to 9. Therefore, we can rewrite

3a \times 4b = 54

as

3a \times 4(9) = 54

To get rid of a multiplier on one side, divide both sides by the number you want gone. I'll use 4(9), which equals 36.

3a = 54 \div 36 = 1.5

Then we can divide by 3 to get

a = 1.5 \div 3 = 0.5

0.5 isn't a viable answer, so I'll try the second interpretation.

2. 304b = 54a

This one is a bit easier. All we need to do is divide both sides by 54 to get

304b \div 54 = a

304 x 9 = 2736

2736/54 = 50.66...

Again, not a viable answer. Please edit your question to include a and I'll give it another shot!

I need help but not urgent but urgent!!
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

8.6 mile

Explanation:

\sf equation \ follows : \ \ \  d = 1.2116\sqrt{h}

  • d represents the distance a person can see.
  • h represents the height above the ocean.

what the captain sees:

\hookrightarrow \sf d_c = 1.2116\sqrt{15}

what the sailor sees:

\hookrightarrow \sf d_s = 1.2116\sqrt{120}

Difference between them:

\sf \rightarrow 1.2116\sqrt{120} \  - \   1.2116\sqrt{15}

\sf \rightarrow 8.58

\sf \rightarrow 8.6      (rounded to nearest tenth)
