Question

Y = 0.115x + 0.0045 , y = 0.499x – 0.22
solve for x

Answer 1

x=0.5612

Explanation:

-Given the functions:

`y=0.115x+0.0045\ \ \ \ ...i\\\\y=0.499x-0.22\ \ \ \ \ ...ii`

We subtract equation i from ii to eliminate y and solve for x:

`ii-i\\\\0=0.384x-0.2155\\\\0.384x=0.2155\\\\x=0.5612`

Hence, the value of x is 0.5612
