3x + 2y = 10 ....multiply by -4
12x + 5y = 25
-------------------
-12x - 8y = -40 (result of multiplying by -4)
12x + 5y = 25
------------------add
-3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5
3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(5) = 10
3x + 10 = 10
3x = 10 - 10
3x = 0
x = 0
solution is (0,5)
Our goal is to fit the given information into the slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
We can place the slope in 'm.'
y= -7x+b
Then, input the values for the x and y.
2= -7(-5)+b
2=35+b
b=2-35
b= -33
'b' is the intercept, so now that we know that, we can plug in all the values and find our final equation.
y= -7x -33
um I dunno because I need points to ask a question sorry
Apples = $.30
Peaches = $.60
You can get this by setting up a system of equations that looks like this.
2x + 3y = 1.65
3x + 2y = 1.60
Where x is the amount of apples and y is the number of peaches. Then you can solve using any of the methods (I would suggest elimination for ease).
We can solve this problem by the rule of three.
A complete pie chart has 360º.
45º----------------------6 people
360º-------------------- x
x=(360º*6 people) / 45º=48 people.
Answer; 48 people.
