Find the point of intersection for each pair of line

x+2y=4

3x+-2y=4

how would i solve this?

Rearrange both for either X or Y I think then you should be able to sub one into another


i.e. X = 4-2y

      X = 4+2y/3

4-2y = 4+2y/3
12-6y = 4+2y

8 -6y = +2y

8 = 8y

y = 1 

 

 

x+2y = 4

x+ 2(1) = 4

x + 2 = 4 

x = 2 

 

therefore point of intersection is (x=2, y=1)


I think.. someone might have to correct me on this though..

These are EACH the equation of a line.   Where they INTERSECT  x and y will satisfy BOTH of the equations....so just solve for x and y

 

From the FIRST equation   x=4-2y

Sustitute THIS 'x' into the SECOND equation

3 (4-2y) -2y = 4

12-6y-2y =4

-8y = -8

y = 1            Since x=4-2y    x=4-2 = 2

x,y = 2,1  You can sustitute these values into the TWO original equations to find this is true.

can someone help me? 

During the past 10 years, the amount of money, M (in billions of dollars), spent in North America by car dealerships advertising their product can be modeled by the equation M = 0.15e^0.3t + 0.78. In what year was about $3 billion (M = 3) spent by car dealerships in advertising?

 

A. t = 9 

B. t = 10

C. t = 8

D. t = 3
