Will medal and fan!

x + Y =7 3x + 4y = 24 x and y intercepts - Find the intercepts for each equation. Show your work

Solve both for Y first, then put them up against another and solve for x, then plot that x value into one of the previous and find Y :)

OpenStudy (gschibby):

Than you have your two points x and y ;)

OpenStudy (gschibby):

*Then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still do not get it

OpenStudy (gschibby):

Okay, hold on...

OpenStudy (gschibby):

By rearranging your two equations you get \[x+y=7 \rightarrow y=7-x\] and \[3x+4y=24 \rightarrow y=\frac{ 24-3x }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (gschibby):

Put those two up against eachother and you get: \[7-x=\frac{ 24-3x }{ 4 }\] solve that for x and you get: \[x=4\] Put that in for example the first equation and you get: \[y=7-x=7-4=3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this one is x or y

OpenStudy (gschibby):

Then your x value will be 4, and your y value will be 3 Hence, your point of interception wil be (4,3) :) Got it? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you alot.
