How to solve linear equations using graphs

Explanation:

We usually use graphs to solve two linear equations in two unknowns.

The basic idea is that a graph of an equation is the pictorial representation of all of the points that satisfy the equation. So, where the graph of one equation crosses the graph of another, the point where they cross will satisfy both equations.

Finding a solution means finding values of the variables that satisfy all of the equations. Hence, the point of intersection is the solution of the equations.

To solve linear equations by graphing, graph each of the equations. Then find the coordinates of the point where the lines intersect. Those coordinates are the solution to the equations.

If the solution is not at a grid point on the graph, determining its exact value may not be easy. This can often be aided by a graphing calculator, which can often tell you the point of intersection to calculator accuracy.

If the lines don't intersect, there are no solutions. If they are the same line (intersect everywhere), then there are an infinite number of solutions.

12 is 90% of what number?<br><br><br> with steps

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here 12 is 90% of a number.
So we can say that 90% of That number is 12 .
In this way we can get the the number

<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Let,

the number=x

<h3>According to the question ,</h3>

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 90\% \:of \;x=12$

We know 90%=90/100
so add it

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf {\dfrac {90}{100}}\times x=12$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf {\dfrac {90x}{100}}=12$

Now use cross multiplication method

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 90x=12\times 100$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 90x=1200$

Now interchange sides .

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x={\dfrac {1200}{90}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x={\dfrac {200}{15}}$

Answer will come in decimals so we take approximate value.

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x=13.3$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x=approximately \:13$

$\therefore$ The number is 13.

X + y = -5 determine x-intercept and y-intercept

Fofino [41]

Very easy question.

To find x intercept: Multiply y by 0. You get x=-5.

To find y intercept: Multiply x by 0. You get y=-5.

Setting:

nata0808 [166]

A. Mr. Kent interviewed the 54 students as they are going to leave the school, it is not considered to be a random sample. It is because a random sample is when a set is taken from a population. Mr. Kent interviewed the 54 who are going to leave, meaning, he didn't take a set out of that 54, he took all of them. So it is not a random sample.

b. The question that Mr. Kent asked is considered to be a leading question, so it does not seem biased.

c. If there are 54 respondents.
51 = yes, the rest is no.
= 54 - 51 = 3
= 3 is now divided to 54 = 3/54
= giving an answer of 0.0555
= 0.0555 x 100
= 5.6%
= The percent of responses that says 'no' is 5.6%
