Answer:

(-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is the point at which the two lines intersect, (-2,4). That point is the only one that satisfies (works) in both equations:

y = x + 6

4 = -2 + 6

and

y = -0.5x + 3

4 = -0.5(-2) + 3

4 = 1 + 3

====

You can also solve it algebraically:

y = x + 6

y = -0.5x + 3

-0.5x + 3 = x + 6 [Use the value of y from the second equation in the first equation]

-1.5x = 3

x = -2

Use this is y = -2 + 6:

y = 4

(-2,4)

Judy is a single woman, 25 years old. Her take home pay is $2314.92/month. She also earns $48 interest per month on her savings

Leni [432]

The monthly budget plan for Judy includes all of her income and expenses, the total balance is $ 2362.92 and she spends $ 1083.

<h3>What is the monthly budget?</h3>

A monthly budget is a personal spending plan that you use to track your monthly income and costs.

The given data in the problem is;

Home pay = $2314.92/month.

Interest earned = $48 / month

House rent = $825/month

EMI of student loan = $258/month

Total earning per month = $2314.92 + $48

Total earning per month = $ 2362.92

Amount she spends per month = $825/month + $258

Amount she spends per month = $ 1083

Hence, the total balance will be $ 2362.92 and she spend $ 1083.

Solve using quadratic formula<br> 6x^2-x=2

Nadya [2.5K]

$6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$
