So basically you counting by 3
Not only you're gonna divide 8 by -3 for some reason, but you also divide all terms by -3. For instance,
(-3y = -2x + 8) / -3
(-3/-3)y = (-2/-3)x + 8/-3
y = (2/3)x - 8/3
Hope this helps.
the equilibrium point, is when Demand = Supply, namely, when the amount of "Q"uantity demanded by customers is the same as the Quantity supplied by vendors.
That occurs when both of these equations are equal to each other.
let's do away with the denominators, by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case, 12.
![\bf \stackrel{\textit{Supply}}{-\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{Demand}}{\cfrac{2}{3}Q+1}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by 12}}{12\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35 \right)=12\left( \cfrac{2}{3}Q+1 \right)} \\\\\\ -9Q+420=8Q+12\implies 408=17Q\implies \cfrac{408}{17}=Q\implies \boxed{24=Q} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the found Q in the Demand equation}}{P=\cfrac{2}{3}(24)+1}\implies P=16+1\implies \boxed{P=17} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{Equilibrium}{(24,17)}~\hfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7BSupply%7D%7D%7B-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7DQ%2B35%7D~~%3D~~%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7BDemand%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7DQ%2B1%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bmultiplying%20by%2012%7D%7D%7B12%5Cleft%28%20-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7DQ%2B35%20%5Cright%29%3D12%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7DQ%2B1%20%5Cright%29%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-9Q%2B420%3D8Q%2B12%5Cimplies%20408%3D17Q%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B408%7D%7B17%7D%3DQ%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7B24%3DQ%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Busing%20the%20found%20Q%20in%20the%20Demand%20equation%7D%7D%7BP%3D%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%2824%29%2B1%7D%5Cimplies%20P%3D16%2B1%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7BP%3D17%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7BEquilibrium%7D%7B%2824%2C17%29%7D~%5Chfill)
Answer:
true
Step-by-step explenation:
follow order of operations
5 -8/2 = 5 - (8/2)= 5-4= 1
Maybe try multiplying them
