Answer:
y-intercept = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is also the starting point
<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
My initial answer was $2750.45, and I will show you my calculations.
Calc : 6774.5 ÷ 100 = 67.745
67.745 × 2.7 = 182.9115
182.9115 × 22 = 4024.053
6774.5 - 4024.053 = 2750.45
= $2750.45
At first I thought this was correct, but after studying my answer I realise that the amount of interest would rise as the amount of money went up, therefore my calculations are very wrong. If I work out the answer, I will get back to you, but the calculation is more complicated than I first predicted
Well to begin, you'll need a graph but you have to do:
y2-y1
---------
x2-x1
(Which is the average rate of change formula.)
In order to find your "y" you look for your x on the graph the move either direction until you touch the graph. Hope this helps.. :)
