3/5 x 7/7= 21/35
4/7x 5/5= 20/35
They both have a common denominator
First of all, you need to know what a 'solution' is, so you'll know it
when you see it.
A 'solution' to an equation is a number, or a set of numbers, that
you can write in place of the variables (the letters), and when you
do that, the equation will have only numbers in it, and it'll be a true
statement.
Your equation has two variables in it ... 'x' and 'y' . In order to find
just a single set of numbers for what both of them must be, you
would need two equations.
The way it stands now, with only one equation, there are actually
an infinite number of solutions. Each solution is a pair of numbers ...
one for 'x' and one for 'y' ... and if you write them into the equation
in place of 'x' and 'y', then the equation is a true statement.
I'll show you how to tell if a pair of numbers is a solution or not.
Here's what that looks like:
Say I give you two pairs of numbers, and I tell you that both of them
are solutions to your equation. The 'solutions' I give you are
x=0
y=1
and
x=2
y=3 .
You don't trust me, and you say to me "Wait just a minute there, dude !
Not so fast. I'll need to check them out and see if those are really solutions
to my equation."
You take the first pair and write it into your equation:
x=1, y=0
9x - 7y = -7
9(0) - 7(1) = -7
0 - 7 = -7
-7 = -7
OK. That's a true statement.
So x=0, y=1 is a solution.
Now check the other one I gave you:
x=2, y=3
9x - 7y = -7
9(2) - 7(3) = -7
18 - 21 = -7
-3 = -7
This is NOT a true statement.
So x=2, y=3 is NOT a solution to your equation.
I pulled a fast one on you. If I was charging you money for solutions,
then you would not pay me for this one, because it's not a solution.
Multiply his AGI by 7.5% to find the amount medical needs to meet before deducting:
46,000 x 0.075 = $3,450
He can deduct any amount over $3450.
Subtract that from his medical total to find the amount he can deduct:
5800 - 3450 = 2350
He can deduct $2,350.
Answer:
not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
In the linear regression equation y=a+bx, slope coefficient b represents average unit increases in y variable due to unit increase in x variable.
In the given equation ŷ = 84 + 18x, b=18 represents average unit increases in gas used due to unit increase in degree day.
Hence,on average, gas used increase by 18 for each additional degree-day.
