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.

Write an inequality for people younger than 8 get in for $45

Tema [17]

Answer:

8 ≤ $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

People younger than 8 get in for $45.

Now we can assume that the cost given might be to enter in the garden or might be in fair or might be at museum or might be at a zoo which is $45 for people which are younger than 8.

Now we can say for people younger than 8 means people or children who are of 8 years or who are below 8 years or say less than 8 years.

Hence we can say people who are less than or equal to 8 get in for $45

So the inequality equation becomes.

8 ≤ $45

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?

Leya [2.2K]

Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).

First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."

5x+4y=2

-5x -5x (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation)

4y = 2 - 5x

/4 /4 /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself)

y = (1/2) - (5/4)x ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction.

Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).

Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know:

y = 5

m = -(5/4)

x = 7

y=mx+b

5=(-5/4)(7) + b -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.

5 = -(35/4) + b -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4

20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4)

+(35/4) +(35/4) -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b

55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74

Answer:

m = -(5/4)

b = 13.75
