Example Questions

Example Question #15 : Solve Systems Of Linear Equations Exactly And Approximately: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Rei.C.6

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 48 x + 35\) and \(\displaystyle y = 23 x + 83\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{48}{25}}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle {x = \frac{96}{25}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{48}{25}}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{48}{25}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 48 x + 35 = 23 x + 83\)

\(\displaystyle 48 x + 35-35=23 x + 83-35\)

\(\displaystyle 48 x=23 x + 48\)

\(\displaystyle 48 x-23 x=23 x + 48-23 x\)

\(\displaystyle 25 x=48\)

\(\displaystyle x=\frac{48}{25}\)

Example Question #91 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 23 x - 53\) and \(\displaystyle y = 41 x + 35\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{44}{9}}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{44}{9}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x = - \frac{88}{9}}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{44}{9}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 23 x - 53 = 41 x + 35\)

\(\displaystyle 23 x - 53+53=41 x + 35+53\)

\(\displaystyle 23 x=41 x + 88\)

\(\displaystyle 23 x-41 x=41 x + 88-41 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 18 x=88\)

\(\displaystyle x=- \frac{44}{9}\)

Example Question #91 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 20 x + 63\) and \(\displaystyle y = 39 x + 74\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{11}{19}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x = - \frac{22}{19}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{11}{19}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{11}{19}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 20 x + 63 = 39 x + 74\)

\(\displaystyle 20 x + 63-63=39 x + 74-63\)

\(\displaystyle 20 x=39 x + 11\)

\(\displaystyle 20 x-39 x=39 x + 11-39 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 19 x=11\)

\(\displaystyle x=- \frac{11}{19}\)

Example Question #92 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 14 x - 90\) and \(\displaystyle y = 18 x + 62\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {x = -76}\)

\(\displaystyle {x=38}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

\(\displaystyle {x=-38}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=-38}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 14 x - 90 = 18 x + 62\)

\(\displaystyle 14 x - 90+90=18 x + 62+90\)

\(\displaystyle 14 x=18 x + 152\)

\(\displaystyle 14 x-18 x=18 x + 152-18 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 4 x=152\)

\(\displaystyle x=-38\)

Example Question #93 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 2 x + 3\) and \(\displaystyle y = 28 x - 64\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{67}{26}}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{67}{26}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x = \frac{67}{13}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{67}{26}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 2 x + 3 = 28 x - 64\)

\(\displaystyle 2 x + 3-3=28 x - 64-3\)

\(\displaystyle 2 x=28 x - 67\)

\(\displaystyle 2 x-28 x=28 x - 67-28 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 26 x=-67\)

\(\displaystyle x=\frac{67}{26}\)

Example Question #92 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 2 x + 62\) and \(\displaystyle y = 19 x - 29\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{91}{17}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x = \frac{182}{17}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{91}{17}}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{91}{17}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 2 x + 62 = 19 x - 29\)

\(\displaystyle 2 x + 62-62=19 x - 29-62\)

\(\displaystyle 2 x=19 x - 91\)

\(\displaystyle 2 x-19 x=19 x - 91-19 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 17 x=-91\)

\(\displaystyle x=\frac{91}{17}\)

Example Question #555 : High School: Algebra

\(\displaystyle y = 22 x - 37\) and \(\displaystyle y = 48 x - 11\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {x=1}\)

\(\displaystyle {x = -2}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

\(\displaystyle {x=-1}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=-1}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 22 x - 37 = 48 x - 11\)

\(\displaystyle 22 x - 37+37=48 x - 11+37\)

\(\displaystyle 22 x=48 x + 26\)

\(\displaystyle 22 x-48 x=48 x + 26-48 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 26 x=26\)

\(\displaystyle x=-1\)

Example Question #101 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 23 x + 86\) and \(\displaystyle y = 14 x + 57\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

\(\displaystyle {x = - \frac{58}{9}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{29}{9}}\)

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{29}{9}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=- \frac{29}{9}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 23 x + 86 = 14 x + 57\)

\(\displaystyle 23 x + 86-86=14 x + 57-86\)

\(\displaystyle 23 x=14 x - 29\)

\(\displaystyle 23 x-14 x=14 x - 29-14 x\)

\(\displaystyle 9 x=-29\)

\(\displaystyle x=- \frac{29}{9}\)

Example Question #102 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 42 x - 46\) and \(\displaystyle y = 2 x - 86\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {x = -2}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle {x=1}\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=-5\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=-1}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 42 x - 46 = 2 x - 86\)

\(\displaystyle 42 x - 46+46=2 x - 86+46\)

\(\displaystyle 42 x=2 x - 40\)

\(\displaystyle 42 x-2 x=2 x - 40-2 x\)

\(\displaystyle 40 x=-40\)

\(\displaystyle x=-1\)

Example Question #103 : Reasoning With Equations & Inequalities

Where do the following lines intersect?

\(\displaystyle y = 7 x + 3\) and \(\displaystyle y = 40 x - 90\)

\(\displaystyle \uptext{x}=6\)

\(\displaystyle {x = \frac{62}{11}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {x=\frac{31}{11}}\)

Explanation:

In order to figure out this problem, we need to set each of the equations equal to each other, and solve for \(\displaystyle \uptext{x}\).

\(\displaystyle 7 x + 3 = 40 x - 90\)

\(\displaystyle 7 x + 3-3=40 x - 90-3\)

\(\displaystyle 7 x=40 x - 93\)

\(\displaystyle 7 x-40 x=40 x - 93-40 x\)

\(\displaystyle - 33 x=-93\)

\(\displaystyle x=\frac{31}{11}\)
