Question

Which of the following represents "Twice the abscissa increased by three times the ordinate is ten"?

3x + 2y = 10
2y + 3x = 10
2x + 3y = 10

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given : Twice the abscissa increased by three times the ordinate is ten.

To find : which equation represent Twice the abscissa increased by three times the ordinate is ten.

Solution : We have abscissa = x.

Ordinate = y.

According to given statement :

Twice the abscissa = 2 * x .

Three times the ordinate = 3 * y.

Twice the abscissa increased by three times the ordinate is ten :

2 * x + 3 * y = 10.

Therefore, This equation 2 * x + 3 * y = 10 is correct.

Answer 2

The abcissa is the name given to the x-coordinate while the ordinate is the other name for the y-coordinate. So, in mathematical terms, "twice the abcissa increased by three times the ordinate is ten" is then described by the third option which is 2x+3y=10.
