L*W= 36
Rewrite to get:
l = 36 / w or w = 36 / l
Either one show =s the inverse relationship between w and l
Equation for x and y graph:
y = 36 / x
I am assuming this is a triangle.....P = a + b + c
P = 2a - 3 + 2a + 3a + 1....combine like terms
P = 7a - 2 <==
The point of elimination is to have one variable so example
3x + 2y = 4
7X + 3y = 5
1) Try to find a way to have one variable
7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28
-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15
2) add
0 + 5y = 13
3) solve for the last variable
5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8
4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one
3x + 2(2.8) = 4
3x + 5.6 = 4
3x = -1.6
x = 0.533333333 (continue)
The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)
Hope you understand!!
Distribute through the parenthesis
subtract 5 from both sides
divide both sides by -1/3...or multiply both sides by -3
