Remark
This is a very interesting question. Draw a line from the origin to where the upper right vertex of the square touches the line. That line has the property that the its equation is y = x. So the "solution" to the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations.
y = x (1)
3x + 4y = 12 (2)
Put x in for y in equation 2
3x + 4x = 12
7x = 12
x = 12/7
x = 1.714
y = 1.714
Problem A
<em><u>x intercept</u></em>
The x intercept occurs when y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12 Divide by 3
x = 12/3
x = 4
the x intercept = (4,0)
<em><u>y intercept</u></em>
The y intercept occurs when x =0
3(0) + 4y = 12
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
y intercept = (0,3)
Problem B
x and y both equal 1.714 so they are also the length of the square's side.
Problem C
See solution above. x =y is the key fact.
x = y = 1.714
3 is the answer to this problem
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
84 kilometers ... 1 hour
7 kilometers ... x hours = ?
If you would like to know how long does the pigeon take to fly 7 kilometers, you can calculate this using the following steps:
84 * x = 1 * 7
84 * x = 7 /84
x = 7/84
x = 1/12 hour
Result: A pigeon can fly 7 kilometers in 1/12 hour.
