Answer:
(2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the system:
y=x+2
y=3x-2.
This is already setup for substitution.
I'm going to replace my first y with what the second y equals.
That is, I'm going to write 3x-2=x+2.
Time to solve the following for x:
3x-2=x+2
Subtract x on both sides:
2x-2= 2
Add 2 on both sides:
2x. = 4
Divide both sides by 2:
x. = 2
Now that we know x=2 and we have an equation that relates x to y: either y=x+2 or y=3x-2, doesn't matter which we use, we can find y.
So we y=x+2 with x=2 which means y=2+2=4.
So the solution, the intersection, is (2,4).
Squaring both sides of the given equation: w^2=7w, or w^2-7w=0.
w^2-7w=0 can be factored: w(w-7)=0. Then, w=7 or w=0. Both 0 and 7 are solutions of this equation.
If the area of the paper is 625 sq in, the length of one side of this square is sqrt(625 sq in), or 25 inches. That's the min. side length of an easel that is to support the whole sheet of paper along its lowest side.
Well, the answer to the question in your picture is $1200.
If x is the original price, and we took 23%, or 0.23 from that, we are left with 77%, or 0.77 of the full price.
So 0.77x = 924
x = 924/0.77
x = 1,200
1200 - 0.23(1200) = 924
924 = 0.77x
