1 3/7 or 10/7 I took the test aswell
I need help to find the root?
There are 2 variables in this problem. One variable is the class number and other variable is the participation in extracurricular activities. Each variable has further two categories. There are two classes: Class 10 and 11. And students either participate or do not participate in extracurricular activities, which makes 2 categories.
The best approach to solve this question is to build a table and start entering the given information in it. When the given data has been entered fill the rest on basis of the data you have.
18 students from grade 11 participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. This means the rest students i.e. 22 students from grade 11 do not participate in Extracurricular activities.
32 students from grade 10 participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. This means total students who participate in at least one Extracurricular activities are 18 + 32 = 50 students.
The rest 50 students do not participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. From these 22 are from class 11. So the rest i.e. 28 are from class 10.
You get 2m+m-3n which simplifies to 3m-3n
1. Understand what multi-variable equations are.
Two or more linear equations that are grouped together are called a system. That means that a system of linear equations is when two or more linear equations are being solved at the same time.
[1] For example:
• 8x - 3y = -3
• 5x - 2y = -1
These are two linear equations that you must solve at the same time, meaning you must use both equations to solve both equations.
2. Know that you are trying to figure out the values of the variables, or unknowns.
The answer to the linear equations problem is an ordered pair of numbers that make both of the equations true.
In the case of our example, you are trying to find out what numbers ‘x’ and ‘y’ represent that will make both of the equations true.
• In the case of this example, x = -3 and y = -7. Plug them in. 8(-3) - 3(-7) = -3. This is TRUE. 5(-3) -2(-7) = -1. This is also TRUE.
3. Know what a numerical coefficient is.
The numerical coefficient is simply the number that comes before a variable.[2] You will use these numerical coefficients when using the elimination method. In our example equations, the numerical coefficients are:
• 8 and 3 for the first equation; 5 and 2 for the second equation.
4. Understand the difference between solving with elimination and solving with substitution.
When you use elimination to solve a multivariable linear equation, you get rid of one of the variables you are working with (such as ‘x’) so that you can solve the other variable (‘y’). Once you find ‘y’, you can plug it into the equation and solve for ‘x’ (don’t worry, this will be covered in detail in Method 2).
• Substitution, on the other hand, is where you begin working with only one equation so that you can again solve for one variable. Once you solve one equation, you can plug in your findings to the other equation, effectively making one large equation out of your two smaller ones. Again, don’t worry—this will be covered in detail in Method 3.
5. Understand that there can be linear equations that have three or more variables.
Solving for three variables can actually be done in the same way that equations with two variables are solved. You can use elimination and substitution, they will just take a little longer than solving for two, but are the same process.
