The easy thing to do is eliminate x by subtraction
x + 7y = 24
- x - 9y = -24
-------------------
16y = 48
now solve for y and then substitute the value into either original equation to find x
Answer:
the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given line be A: y=3x+2
The slope of line A is m = 3.
The slope of any line B which is perpendicular to line A is the negative reciprocal of the slope of A: m = -(1/3).
The particular perpendicular line that passes through (3, 5) is then
5 = (-1/3)(3) + b, which simplifies to 5 = -1 + b, or b = 6.
Thus, the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6
Answer:
60 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
144/12 = 12 mi/gal
720/12 = 60
The operation is known as rounding of a number.
This means basically if i measure the temperature of a city and it comes out to be 22.9 degrees. I will round it of to 30 degrees or the amount of significant figures i am designated with.
Similarly if its 22.85 and i have to round of to 3 significant figures it becomes 22.9 degrees.
ROunding off is obviously done watching to which digit we have to.
