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.
Answer:
There is one way, 5 groups of 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is 10 people and there has to be 5 pairs, divide 10 by 5. this is 2. This is the only way that it can be split evenly.
I don't know which one you want but here
Exact form: x=9/10
OR
Decimal form
x=0.9
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do not want to read the explanation go the the next part in bold
Ok so the shorter leg of the triangle is a radius of the circle. ( This is indicated by the point in the middle of the circle.) for the hypotenuse we are given one part of the length (2) The other part also happens to be a radius ( remember that a radius is a line that starts from the center of the triangle to any point of the circumference. ) Also remember that the radius is equal to 3. That being said the hypotenuse = 2+3 which equals 5.
This triangle then happens to be a right triangle. ( A triangle formed by a tangent line and a radius is a right triangle.) This means that we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
Below here is where the work is shown
a² + b² = c². where a and b = legs and c = hypotenuse. We are given the hypotenuse (5) and a leg (3) So we plug in what we are given and solve for the missing information. 5² = 3² + b²
5² = 25
3² = 9
we would then have 25 = 9 + b²
Next we subtract 9 from each side
25 - 9 = 16
9 - 9 cancels out
Now we have 16 = b²
finally we want to get rid of the ²
To do so we take the square root of each side
we're left with b = 4 which means that x = 4
Answer:
d. 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
make it into two fractions: 6/8 = x/7
solve for x by cross multiplying.
