Answer 1

0=-146496(0.2098)+41351(0.1398)+27409-18573

0=-X(0.2952)+43805(0.2252)+41582-21570

Answer 2

set these equation equal and solve for x.

Answer 5

Did you miss an x in the first one?

Answer 6

I am getting a different number than my TA. She says my setup is right... I don't even know where the heck I am going wrong

Answer 7

no there is only one equation with x

Answer 8

I am getting like x = 254,839 and apparently it;s wrong

Answer 9

yes i think i got it...

Answer 10

hold on let me get it written and then i will show you my solution.

Answer 11

@KamiBug did you see my PM?

Answer 12

Yes, one sec (:

Answer 13

Why did you add them? Like you added the first equation to the second one. @_@ My eyes hurt. xD

Answer 14

you have to change the signs when you bring one of the equations across the equls sign

Answer 15

What I did was simplify each equation as much as possible first then set them equal to each other and went from there.
Here's what I got ... Did you get the same?
The first equation simplified to 16117.991
The second equation simplified to -x(.2952) + 29876.886
So
16117.991 = -x(.2952)+29876.886

Answer 16

omg i got it.

Answer 17

Yay ! What did you get? :D

Answer 18

I know what I was doing wrong and I remember making this same mistake when I was taking another class where we had to input 6 equations with 6 unkowns.. ugh lol

Answer 19

I got x = +46608.7229

Answer 20

YES THAT'S RIGHT ! XD

Answer 21
