Step 1: Choose either inequality. Change the relationship symbol to "=". Graph the resulting line. If the original relationship symbol was or , do it with a dashed or broken line. If your symbol was or , graph the equation with a solid line.
Step 2: Pick any point on the coordinate plane that does not lie on the line you just graphed. If the line does not pass through the origin, then the origin is an excellent choice for this step. If the line does pass through the origin, select a point other than the origin -- I recommend a point that has small integer coordinates.
Step 3: Substitute the values of the coordinates of the point chosen in Step 2 for the corresponding variables in the inequality you started with in Step 1.
Step 4: Do the appropriate arithmetic to determine whether the substitution created a true statement or not. If you created a true statement, shade in the side of the line containing the point selected in Step 2. If you created a false statement, shade in the side of the line that does not contain the selected point.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other inequality. The solution set will be the region where the two shaded areas overlap. If the two shaded areas do not overlap at all, the solution set is the empty set. Note that points on any dashed boundary lines, in the case where you do not have a or relationship, are not included in the solution set. Points on solid boundary lines are included in the solution set.

Linear-equations/609549: Hello. My assignment is to come up with four essential vitamins/minerals and their recommended daily values. Also, four foods that contain each of those vitamins/minerals. Then I have to construct a linear system of equations that determines how much of each item a person would need to consume to achieve the recommended daily value of each nutrient.
For the minerals, I have: Magnesium- 400mg, Potassium-3500mg, Sodium-2400mg, and Zinc-15mg
The foods that I have chosen and calculated are:
1.)4 oz.Chicken: calcium-17.01mg, iron-1.18mg, magnesium-32.89mg, sodium-83.91mg,potassium-290.30mg, & zinc-1.13mg)
2.) 4oz Salmon: calcium-7.94mg, iron-.62mg, mag-35.15mg,sodium-74.84mg, potassium-425.24mg, zinc-.58mg
3.)Whole wheat: calcium-18.20mg, iron-1.75mg, mag-58.24mg,sodium-9.10mg, potassium-123.76mg, zinc-1.04mg
4.)1 cup 2% Milk: calcium-292.80mg, iron-.05mg, mag-26.84mg,sodium-114.68mg, potassium-341.60mg, zinc-1.17mg
Honestly, I have no idea how to begin to create a linear equation for all of these. Hopefully someone can simplify the process for me, or give me an example of a linear equation that I can use to create one for each food 1 solutions

I think the trick to this one is to count 4oz chicken, 4oz salmon, some unspecified amount of whole wheat, and 1 cup milk, as "servings." Then let represent the number of required servings of chicken, represent the number of required servings of salmon, etc.
Now, make yourself a table:
|
Servings |
Magnesium |
Potassium |
Sodium |
Zinc |
| Chicken |
 |
32.89 |
290.30 |
83.91 |
1.13 |
| Salmon |
 |
35.15 |
425.24 |
74.84 |
0.58 |
| Whole Wheat |
 |
58.24 |
123.76 |
9.1 |
1.04 |
| 2% Milk |
 |
26.84 |
341.60 |
114.68 |
1.17 |
| Requirement |
|
400 |
3500 |
2400 |
15 |
Next note that the amount of magnesium that you would get from servings of chicken would be mg. So the total amount of magnesium you would get from this chicken/salmon/wheat/milk diet would be:
And you want this to add up to 400mg of magnesium, so:
.
The others are set up the exact same way, just read down each of the columns in the table to get the numbers you need.

Start with either one of your equations.
Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.
Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.
Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).
Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.
Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.
Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.
Step 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 using the other equation.
The point where the lines intersect is the solution, because the coordinates of that point will satisfy (read: make true) both of your equations. You need to determine, by inspection of the graph, what the coordinates of that point are and report your answer as an ordered pair, (x,y), using those coordinates. To check your answer, you should substitute this set of coordinates into each of your original equations and verify that you have a true statement for each of the equations.
If both lines graph to the same line, then the solution set is infinite, i.e. every ordered pair that satisfies one equation will satisfy the other. If the lines are parallel, then the solution set is empty.
A consistent system has at least one solution.
An inconsistent system has no solutions.
An independent system has exactly one solution.
A dependent system has infinitely many solutions.
Therefore a system can be either consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent.

In order for AB to be perpendicular to , a vertical line, the segment AB must be contained in a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have the characteristic that the coordinate of all points in the line are equal. Hence, if point A has a coordinate of 2, then point B must have a coordinate of 2 also. In order for to be the perpendicular bisector of AB, the point where intersects the line containing the segment AB must be the midpoint of AB. We know the coordinate of that midpoint because we know that , and we also know the coordinate of that midpoint because all points on the segement AB (indeed, all points on the line containing the segment AB) have a coordinate of 2. The distance from the point to the point can be calculated using the distance formula, or you can simply note that there is zero difference in the coordinates so the distance is the difference between the coordinates, i.e. 1. That means that point B has to be 1 unit on the other side of the midpoint, that is to say at

Probability-and-statistics/608878: An ordinary (fair) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a die is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.
Compute the probability of each of the following events:
Event A: The sum is greater than 9 .
Event B: The sum is not divisible by 3 and not divisible by 4.

| 12 | 6,6 | 1 |
The probability of anything is the number of ways that it can happen that you would consider a success divided by the number of ways it can happen total -- successes and failures.
If you add up the number of total ways that you can roll a pair of dice you get 36.
