Answer 103817 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-05-22 16:40:06 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!30+5L=10.26 MULTIPLY THIS EQUATION BY -2 & ADD.
6O+4L=11.16
-60-10L=-20.52
------------------------
-6L=-9.36
L=-9.36/-6
L=1.56 IS THE PRICE OF EACH LEMON.
3O+5*1.56=10.26
3O+7.80=10.26
3O=10.26-7.80
3O=2.46
O=2.46/3
O=.82 COST OF EACH ORANGE.
PROOF
6*.82+4*1.56=11.16

You can put this solution on YOUR website!X+3Y=6
3Y=-X=6
Y=-X/3+6/3
Y=-X/3+2
IF Y=0 THEN:
0=-X/3+2
-X/3=-2
-X=-2*3
-X=-6
X=6 OR (6,0) IS THE X INTERCEPT.
SETTING X=0 THEN:
Y=-3*0+2
Y=2 OR (0,2) IS THE Y INTERCEPT.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!B+C=90 OR C=90-B
A=3B
NOW WE ADD THE THREE ANCLES A,B & C.

3B=180-90
3B=90
B=90/3
B=30 DEGREES.
A=3830=90 DEGREES.
C=90-30

You can put this solution on YOUR website!y=-1,777x+27,153
for x=4
y=-1,777*4+27,153
y=-7,108+27,153
y=20,045 for the number in 2004.
for x=7
y=-1,777*7+27,153
y=-12,439+27,153
14,714 for the number in 2007.
11,160=-1,777x+27,153
1,777x=27,153-11,160
1,777x=15,993
x=15,993/1,777
x=9 or the year 2009 the projected deaths will be 11,160.

Linear-equations/142529: How can I answer this question? Find the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation 2x + 3y =6. I am having problems with graphs 1 solutions
Answer 103798 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-05-22 11:03:04 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The standard line equaton is [Y=mX+b] where m=slope & b=y intercept.
2x+3y=6
3y=-2x+6
y=-2x/3+6/3
y=-2x/3+2
the slope=-2/3 & the y intercept=2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!A=3*35+.24X (RED LINE)
B=3*41+.16X (GREEN LINE)
3*41+.16X<=3*35+.24X

-.08X<=-18
X>=-18/-.08 [DIVIDING BY A MINUS NUMBER CHANGES THE < SIGN TO THE > SIGN]
X>=225 MILES WILL MAKE BOTH RENTALS COST THE SAME.
THEREFORE ANY MILEAGE MORE THAN 225 MILES MAKES PLAN B A BETTER BUY.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!.11x+.09(6000-x)=624
.11x+540-.09x=624
.02x=624-540
.02x=84
x=84/.02
x=4200 invested @ 11%
6000-4200=1800 amount invested @ 9%
Proof:
.11*4200+.09*1800=624
462+162=624
624=624

x=(4+18.33)/10
x=22.33/10
x=2.233 answer.
(x=4-18.33)/10
x=-14.33/10
x=-1.433 answer.

Graphs/142430: Find an equation in slope-intercept form passing through the points (2,5) and
(7,-3). Any help with this equation would be appreciated. Thank you. 1 solutions
Answer 103659 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-05-20 17:26:21 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!(2,5) & (7,-3)
First we find the slope (m) (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-3-5)/(7-2)
m=-8/5 is the slope.
now we replace the x & y terms with one set of points & solve for the y intercept (b) in the equation [Y=mX+b]
5=-8/5*2+b
5=-16/5+b
5+16/5=b
(25+16)/5=b
41/5=b the y intercept.
Thus the equation is:
y=-8x/5+41/5
 (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 10, y from -10 to 10, -8x/5 +41/5).

Using the quadratic equation:  we get:
x=(-2+-sqrt[2^2-4*1*48])/1*2
x=(-2+-sqrt[4-192]0/2
x=(-2+-sqrt-188)/2
x=(-2+-13.7i)/2
x=(-2+13.7i)/2

Equations/142412: Find the equation of the line having y-intercept (0,5) and x-intercept (4,0).
1 solutions
Answer 103656 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-05-20 17:03:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!First we find the slope:
slope(m)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope(m)=(0-5)/(4-0)
slope(m)=-5/4
now replace the x & y terms with one set of points & solve for the y intercept(b) in the line equation [Y+mX+b]
5=0*-5/4+b
5=b the y intercept.
Thus the line equation is:
y=-5x/4+5
 (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, -5x/4 +5).

Answer 103650 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-05-20 16:51:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!a=x^2+8x+15
a=(x+3)(x+5)
---------------------
a=x^2+8x+16
a=(x+4)^2
--------------------
a=x^2+10x+16
a=(+8)(x+2)
