We use algebraic equations in our daily lives without knowing it. For example, when we go shopping, calculate grocery expenses, or even fill our gas tanks, we are using equations. Let's say we needed to fill our gas tank, but we only had $15.00 to do so. If the price of gas is $3.00 per gallon, how many gallons could we buy? We use the simply algebraic equation of
to calculate the total gallons that can be bought. x = the money we have. y = price per gallon of gas.
= 5. So with $15.00, we can buy 5 gallons of gas; and that is just one example of using an algebraic equation in everyday life!
Answer:
y= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached picture for full solution.
(From the 4th to 5th line, I multiplied both sides by 8)
Answer:
y ≤ 2x -2 Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of the dotted line which passes through (3,0) and (0,8) will be
y = mx+C
m = 
= -1
and C = 3
So equation will be y = x + 3
But shaded blue part is above the dotted line so inequality will be y> -x +3
Equation of the second solid line which passes through ( 0,-2) and (1,0) will be
y = mx + C
m = 
= 
= 2
and C = -2
So equation of the line will be y = 2x - 2
But shaded yellow part is below the solid line.
So inequality will be
y ≤ 2x -2
Option C. is the answer.
Answer:
663
Step-by-step explanation:
the total number of students can be determined using this equation :
(total ratio of Chinese and Indian students / total ratio of students) x n = 468
total ratio of Chinese and Indian students = 4 + 8 = 12
total ratio of students 4 + 8 + 5 = 17
N = TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS
12/17) x n = 468
multiply both sides of the equation by 17/12
n = 663
