A linear equation of the form :
y = mx+b
can have at the most ONE x-intercept and at the most ONE y-intercept
I can conclude that this linear equation DOESN'T pass through the origin (O) and that it intercepts the x-axis as well as the y-axis
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
8 (-2x + 1) = 30 - (-4 + 3x) Distribute
-16x + 8 = 30 + 4 - 3x Combine like terms
-16x + 8 = 34 - 3x Rearrange terms
-13x = 26 Divide by -13 on both sides
x = -2
One ton = 2000 lbs
Therefore, 1.5 tons = 3000 lbs
3000-300=2700lbs
X + y = 24....multiply by -3
3x + 5y = 100
---------------
-3x - 3y = - 72 (result of multiplying by -3)
3x + 5y = 100
--------------add
2y = 28
y = 28/2
y = 14
x + y = 24
x + 14 = 24
x = 24 - 14
x = 10
solution is (10,14)...and x represents 3 point q's and y represents 5 point q's......so this tells me there are 10 three point q's and 14 five point q's.
