Answer:
5 : 1 or 10 : 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we must clear x from the given equation:
We passed 23 subtracting the other side of equality:
By definition, 
is written as 
So, we have:
So, the solution of for x is:
Answer:
Now they are not equal.
You can see that by cross multiplying the fractions, if they equal each other then they are equal and if not then they aren't.\
6/12 ≠ 5/8
48 ≠ 60
Hope this helps :)
So we need to find the two lines...y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
m=(dy/dx)=(7-6)/(3-1)=1/2 so
y=x/2+b, now I'll use (1,6) to solve for b
6=1/2+b, b=5 1/2=11/2 so
y1=(x+11)/2
now the other line...
m=(8-6)/(5-3)=2/2=1
y2=x+b, using point (3,6) we solve for b
6=3+b, b=3 so
y2=x+3
Since this is just two lines they will only intersect at a single point and when they do, y=y so we can say:
x+3=(x+11)/2
2x+6=x+11
x+6=11
x=5, now use either line to solve for the corresponding y value...
y2=x+3 becomes y=5+3=8 so the solution to this system is the point:
(5,8)
