Question

x g(x)
-4 -4
-2 -2
2 2
@sarahusher

Answer 1

again x=g(x)
so i presume you have something different that it might intersect? :)

Answer 2

How can one halfx − 5 = one thirdx + 6 be set up as a system of equations? sorry just ignore the top

Answer 3

oh okay haha
so we have \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x-5=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x + 6\]
okay so if they equal each other, we know they equal some value, let's call it y
so we know
y=(x/2)-5
and
y=(x/3)+6 right?

Answer 4

ok so do we put it beside each other?

Answer 5

you don't have two
the two equations listed as they are is enough that they satisfy a 'system of equations' as the questions asks

Answer 6

right im soo sorry

Answer 7

don't apologise dear! :)

Answer 8

2y + x = −10
3y + x = 18

2y + 2x = −10
3y + 3x = 18

2y − x = −10
3y − x = 18

2y − 2x = −10
3y − 3x = 18

Answer 9

which one would it be then
@sarahusher

Answer 10

so if we have:\[y=\frac{ x }{ 2 }-5\] and \[y=\frac{ x }{ 3 }+6\]

you can multiply the top one by two (so everything is whole numbers)
and the bottom one by 3, what do you get then?

Answer 11

2-10
3+18

Answer 12

is that right @sarahusher

Answer 13

right idea but you have to include the 'y' component so it would be
2y=x-10
3y=x+18

Answer 14

right i got you thanks

Answer 15

you're welcome
