Systems of Equations

3 methods to solve for x and y

Assign a value to x and y

X = balls
Y = hearts

Write the equations

10x + ?y = 325
10(8.5) + ?(12) =
325
?(12) = 240
? = 20 hearts

Conclusion: There
should be 20
hearts added to
Multiply each equation
8x + 5y = 128 (Multiple by the
-9)- bag
72x -45y = -1152
Solve for x (elimination method)

8x + 5y = 128
18x + 9y = 261

18x + 9y = 261 (multiply by 5) 90x + 45y =

1305
18x = 153
x = 8.5
Solve for y
8(8.5) + 5y = 128 y= 12

Linear functions

Analytic Geometry

Parallel lines
Division Point
Distance formula

Step 1: Determine the

coordinates of point s

Writing the rule

Since point s is the y intercept on

line ST we can determine the
coordinates by finding the rule of
the line.

y = ax + b
A is the slope and since lines PQ
and ST are parallel their slopes
are the same a = -
Use the point t to determine b
Y = -1/4x + b
0 = -1/4 (32) + b
0 = -8 + b
8=b
Therefore the coordinates of point s
is (0. 8)


Step
2: Determine the coordinates of point
R
Point R is the Division point of the line PQ
Point P (4, 59) Point Q (100, 35)
Point R (4 + (100 - 4), 59 + (35 - 59)
Point R (40, 50)
Step 3: Determine the length of the line SR
Point R (40, 50) Point S (0,8)

Distance SR = (x2 x1)2 + (y2 y1)2

= (40 0)2 + (50 8)2
= 1600 + 1764
= 3364
= 58 units

Conclusion the Line SR is 58 units long.

Trigonometry
SOH CAH TOA
Sine Law

Step 1: Length of line OP

Since is a right triangle we
can use SOH CAH TOA

OP = 4.47

Step 2: Measure <OSP

Since we have a non-right
angle triangle we can use
Sine Law to find the missing
angle
Step
3: Measure of <POS
Step
4: Length of line PS

Since the sum of the interior Sine Law

angles of a triangle is 180

Sin s = 0.529
31.96

180 124 31.96 = 24.04

Conclusion: Line SP is 3.44 m

SP = 3.44 m

How to solve for x

Town F How much time has elapsed

Using the rule find the value for x.

There is no way to find x without trial and error, make a

table to chart your work
F(x) = 20 000(0.9)x
We are trying to find when x is equal to 13122

The Town F reached at 4 years

X

F(x)
18000

14580

13122

Town G Write the rule and solve for f(x)

Since we just found that the decrease in town F was over a
4 year period, we will use the same period for town G

Writing the rule:

f(x) = acx

f(x) = 20000(1.15)4

F(x) = 34980.125

C
=

C=

Remember we add the percent

because the rue is increasing
C = 1.15

Since this is the population of the town now, we have to

subtract the 20 000 in order to find the actual increase
over the last 4 years.
Conclusion: Town G has an increase
of 14980.125 people
34980.125 20000 = 14980.125

Where do we start?

First of all we know that

this is a proof because we
are asked to prove that
the triangle is 3420 cm2
(when you have a proof
you have to prove every
step)
Therefore even though we
can tell that FGJ= , we
have to prove it

Step
2: Solve for line PS using the metric relation in

Step 1: In order to prove that the

triangles are congruent we can use SAS
We know that the <FGJ =
<NPS
We also know that line FG =
MP
We have to prove that line PS
is also 156 cm (thats where
that metric relation comes in)

a2 = d X c
a2 = 144 X 169
a2 = 24336
a = 156 This proves that line PS = GJ
Now FGJ= proven by the rule SAS
Because the triangle are congruent we can also
state that line FJ is 171 cm

Step
3: Find the area of triangle FJL

Since we have three sides we can

use Heros Formula
Area =

We have now proven that the area of

triangle FJL is indeed 3420 cm2

P= P=

P = 180

Area =

Area =
Area = 3420 cm2
