Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
solution is (4,3)
OR
x=4
y=3
this point lies in both the tables.
we have to find a pair which lies on both.
First, change everything into minutes.
12 noon is 12 by 60 which = 720 minutes.
9am is 9 by 12 which = 540 minutes.
X is now your number of minutes before noon.So noon - x is the next step:
720 - x
20 minutes ago it was 720 - x - 20
720 - x - 20= 540 + 3x (3x because you're looking for 3 times as many minutes)
720 - 20 - 540=4x (you combine all the like numbers and variables)
160 = 4x
160/4= x
40 = x
Your answer is 40 minutes

-2x + (1/2)y = 18
(1/2)y = 2x + 18
y/2 = 2x + 18
y = 2*(2x + 18)
y = 2*2x + 2*18
y = 4x + 36
The x intercept is the value of x, when the y value is 0.
0 = 4x + 36
0 - 4x = 36
-4x = 36
x = 36/-4
x = -9
The x intercept is -9
I hope this helps.
