Cross multiply or just multiply both sides by 24
24x/6=36
4x=36
divide both sides by 4
x=9
You mean their sum is 12?
A) x + y = 12
B) x -y = 4 then we add both equations:
2x = 16
x = 8
y = 4
Answer:
So i found the teacher notes after hours of looking here are the exact answers so i would recommend changing the wording.
Part A: Ordered pairs in the form (mb, kmh): (1,000, 100) and (960,180) Let X be the barometric pressure and Y be the wind speed.
Slope= (180-100)
---------------- = -2
(960-1000)
Formula: y=-2(x-1000)+100
Part B: y=-2(980-1000)+100=140
140 kmh is reasonable. Because 980 mb is halfway between 960 mb and 1000 mb, we should expect a wind speed halfway between 180 kmh and 100 kmh.
Part C: The wind speed intercept is (0,2100) [or (2100,0) if written that way.] This means that when brometric pressure is 0 mb, then the wind speed would be 2100 kmh. However in the context of real weather, this is an impossible situation.
Part D: The slope means that every decrease of 2 kmh in wind speed corresponds to a 1 mb increase in barometric pressure.
hoped this helped :)
