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.

Add the amount of choices, and divide by the number of customers surveyed.

40 + 32 + 8 + 20 = 100

40 customers were surveyed

100/40 = 2.5

The average number should be D) 2.5

hope this helps

Calculate this reflection of the triangle:

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

a = 3, b = 0, c = 0, d = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To find the reflection Multiply the matrices</em>

∵ The dimension of the first matrix is 2 × 2

∵ The dimension of the second matrix is 2 × 3

<em>1. Multiply the first row of the 1st matrix by each column in the second matrix add the products of each column to get the first row in the 3rd matrix.</em>

2. Multiply the second row of the 1st matrix by each column in the second matrix add the products of each column to get the second row of the 3rd matrix

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right]$ × $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&3&0\\0&0&2\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(1*0+0*0)&(1*3+0*0)&(1*0+0*2)\\(0*0+-1*0)&(0*3+-1*0)&(0*0+-1*2)\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&3&0\\0&0&-2\end{array}\right]$
