How do you grow your own equations

1 answer:

4 0

You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:

An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.

First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.

liraira [26]

Answer:

-6 - (-8) = 2.

Your number line might have a bubble at 2. Or it may show movement 8 units to the right of -6. Whatever it is, you should end up at the value of 2.

Explain why a triangle can't have two right angles

Sedbober [7]

Answer: They would be a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 right angles need at least 4 sides, making it impossible to have a 3-sided 2 right angle triangle.

Complete the square to the problem X^2+6x-16=0

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}$

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, 3) and (2, 2)?

anastassius [24]

(4,3)(2,2)
slope = (2 - 3) / (2 - 4) = -1/-2 = 1/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/2
use either of ur sets of points...(4,3)...x = 4 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 1/2(4) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b

so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 1 <==
