In Problems 49 - 56 , use a graphing calculator to find the solution to each system. Round any approximate solutions to three decimal places. y = 9 x − 10 y = − 7 x + 8
In Problems 49 - 56 , use a graphing calculator to find the solution to each system. Round any approximate solutions to three decimal places. y = 9 x − 10 y = − 7 x + 8
Solution Summary: The author explains the steps to solve the equations y=9x-10 and 7x+8 using TI-83 graphing calculator.
Age problems usually follow a certain pattern. That is, they usually have
certain basic facts. Frequently, they refer to ages at different points in time.
For example, Ted's father's age is twice as old as Ted. This means that their
ages now could be represented as: x = Ted's age now, and 2x = Ted's father's age
now. Ten years ago, Ted's age was x-10, and Ted's father's age was 2x – 10. In
five years or five years hence, Ted's age will be x+5 while his father's age will be
2x + 5. In tabular form, we have:

The Amazon rainforest covered 5.44 million square kilometers in 2014.In 2014, it covered only 0.85 times
as much area as it covered in 1994. How much area, in millions of square kilometers, did the Amazon
rain forest cover in 1994?
