Matrices-and-determiminant/346098: I need to find the intersecting points of two equations: y=.15x and y=.2(x-20)and graph them. I have included my problem and what is expected. I'm lost. Ok this is what I got : You would set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x .15x=.2(x-20) using the Elimination Method Reorder the terms: 0.15x = 0.2(-20 + x) 0.15x = (-20 * 0.2 + x * 0.2) 0.15x = (-4 + 0.2x) Solving 0.15x = -4 + 0.2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2x' to each side of the equation. 0.15x + -0.2x = -4 + 0.2x + -0.2x Combine like terms: 0.15x + -0.2x = -0.05x -0.05x = -4 + 0.2x + -0.2x Combine like terms: 0.2x + -0.2x = 0.0 -0.05x = -4 + 0.0 -0.05x = -4 Divide each side by '-0.05'. x = 80 Simplifying x = 80 Now that X = 80, I plugged it into the equation y=0.15x and got this: y=0.15x y=0.15(80) y= 12 Now this is the question to my problem and I do not know how to get the answer. I have to graph this and show the intersection. a teacher is looking for the best option in purchasing school supplies for a classroom. Where Company A is offering a discount for every dollar amount spent on school supplies and where Company B is offering a higher discount than Company A, but the discount for Company B is only offered for every dollar amount spent above $20.00. I will determine and explain which company will offer a better price based upon the dollar amount the teacher spends on school supplies. Option 1- Company A will offer her a 15% discount on the total amount spent in the store. Option 2- Company B will offer her a 20% discount on the remaining amount after the first $20 is spent. Depict the situation graphically, using appropriate graphing software such as Excel or an online graphing utility. Include the following in your graph: • A depiction of each cost option on the same graph • Clear labels of the cost to the hypothetical customer for both options on the graph • The intersection of the cost options (if one exists) I'm so lost. I do not know how to graph this.
