55000=200a+b, 62500=500a+b, by solving themwe get b=50000
C=an+b 1. 2. n=200, c=55,000 a nd b are constants n=500, c=62500 ............. 55000=a(200)+b 62500=a(500)+b b=55000-a(200) b=62500-a(500) So, 55000-a(200)=62500-a(500) a(300) =7500 a=7500/300 a=25 if a=25 then b=55000-25(200) b=62500-25(500) b=55000-5000 b=62500-12500 b=50000 b=50000
[5(55000=200a+b)] -[2(62500=500a+b)] => 3b=150000 => b=5000
b=50000, a=25.
200a + b = 55000
500a + b = 62500
=> a = 25, b = 50000
200a+b= 55000 eq1 500a+b=62500 eq 2 now if we have to find we have to balence the value of a for this purpose we have to multiply <eq 1> by 5 and <<q2> by 2 so eq will become as
1000a+5b=275000 eq 1 1000a+3b=125000 eq2 subtructing eq1-eq2 we will get b=50000
very easy by calculetor
C=an+b
55000 = 200a + b ....... (1) equation
62500 = 500a + b ....... (2) equation
(2) - (2)
62500 - 55000 = 500a +b - 200a - b
7500 = 300a
a = 25
put the value a = 25 on equation (1)
55000 = 200 * 25 +b
55000 = 5000 + b
b = 50000
like
55000=200a+b, 62500=500a+b
a=25, b=50000
Your answer should be 50,000 and not 25.
200a+b=55000 500a +b=62500 solve these 2 equations :ans-a=25 b=50000
y = mx + b, the well known formula, where m is the slope. But we don't know the slope, so we need to find this out first. This is easy enough, slope is defined as rise over run, or y / x. In this case we have two points, so we find rise over run by using the formula (y - y1) = m(x - x1): (62500 - 55000) = m(500 - 200). When you find the slope, just plug it into y = mx + b, with the known values for x and y.
C=A+B ; B and A are constant
200a+b=55,000 ; 500a+b=62,500
set aside B
to simplify you'll get 300a=7500 (500a-200a=62,500-55,000)
a=7,500/300
a=25
Substitute
500(25)+b=62,500
12,500+b=62,500
b=62,500-12,500
b=50,000
C= an +b Given : Case 1: C=55000 , n= 200. So the eq'n becomes
55000= 200n +b ------> 1
Case 2: C= 62500, n=500. So the eq'n becomes
62500 = 500n +b ------->2
Solving (2-1): We get 7500=300a => n=25----> 3
Substitute 3 in 1 b=50000
C=an+b
by the conditions we get two equations,
200a+b=55000..........[1]
500a+b=62500..........[2]
By substracting equation[2] from equation[1]
we get a=25
when we substitute a=25 in equation[2]
we get b=50000
c = an +b or, an+b=c
200a+b = 55000 -------------------------------1 500a+b =62500-------------------------------2
here equation 2-1
300a = 7500 or a =25
Put value a=25 in equation no 1 200a+b = 55000 (200x25)+b=55000 5000+b=55000 b=50000
so b = 50000
(55000/200 - b)5 = (62500/500 - b)2
275000 - 5b = 125000 - 2b
275000 - 125000 = (-2b) + 5b
150000 = 3b
150000/3 = b
50000 = b
C= an+b
55000 = 200a + b;
62500 = 500a + b
solving, a=25, b=50,000
200a + b = 55000 500a + b = 62500
From here a= 25 , inserting value of a into any of above eq. we get b=50000
c=an+b 55000=200a+b........1 62500=500a+b......2 solving equation 1&2 we get b=50000
SINCE C=an+b , where
c= cost, n=no. of boxes
in case 1
n=200,c=5500
therefore55000=200a+b
200a+b-55000 = 0 ---------------------------equation i in case 2
n=5000,c=62500
62500=500a+b
500a+b-62500 =0 ----------------------------------------equation ii
solving i and ii
200a + b - 55000 = 0---------------------------i
500a + b - 62500 = 0-------------------------- ii
[-] [-] [+] = [ -]
300a + 7500= 0
300a= - 7500 a= 7500\300
a = 25
putting the value of a in equation 1
200a + b -55000 = 0
200 . 25 +b - 55000=0
5000+ b - 55000=0 b= 55000-5000
b=5000
$55 000 = a(200)+b ........ equation1
$62 500 = a(500)+b ........ equation2
from equation1 solve for a
a = (55 000-b)/ 200 ........ equation3
substitude equation3 into equation2
62 500 = 500((55 000-b)/ 200)+b
then solve for b
62 500 = (27 500 - 500b)/200 +b
62 500 = (27 500 000 -500b+ 200b)/200
125 00 000 = 27 500 000 - 300b
300b = 15 000 000
thereofe b = 50 000
55000=200a+b 62500=500a+b
275000=1000a+5b 125000=1000a+2b
Subtract= 150000=3b 50000=b
C = an + b
Find the Math Sentence.
C1 = 200a + b = 55000 | 5 |
C2 = 500a + b = 62500 | 2 |
Eliminate both
1000a + 5b = 275. 10³
1000a + 2b = 125 . 10³
= 3b = 150.000
=> b = 150.000/3
=> b = 50.000
Nice! :)
C = an + b
Find the Math Sentence. C1 = 200a + b = 55000 | 5 | C2 = 500a + b = 62500 | 2 |
Eliminate both 1000a + 5b = 275. 10³ 1000a + 2b = 125 . 10³
= 3b = 150.000 => b = 150.000/3 => b = 50.000
5 5 0 0 0 = 2 0 0 a + b 6 2 5 0 0 = 5 0 0 a + b
2 0 0 a = 5 5 0 0 0 − b a = 2 0 0 5 5 0 0 0 − b 6 2 5 0 0 = 2 0 0 2 7 5 0 0 0 0 0 − 5 0 0 b + b 6 2 5 0 0 − b = 1 3 7 5 0 0 − 2 . 5 b 1 . 5 b = 7 5 0 0 0 b = 5 0 0 0 0
c1=200a+b=55000------------ (1) c2=500a+b=62500------------(2) (2)-(1) a=25 b=50000
C=an+b
55000=a*200+b
62500=a*500+b
Solving these we get
a=25
substituting this on above we get
b=50000
so the answer is 50000
how a is equal to 25 ?
c=an+b 55000=200a+b.........(i) 62500=500a+b.........(ii) subtractin i from ii we get 7500=300a a=25 put in (i) we get b=50000
can't get ur ans...i didn,t undrstand plzzzzzzzzzzzz explain from where we got value of b ?
200a+b=55000 500a+b=62500 a=25 so b=50000
c=an+b 55000=200a+b equation 1 62500=500a+b equation 2 multiply equation 1 with 2.5 and then get eqution 3 137500=5ooa+b eqution 3 and subtract equation 3 with equation 2 137500=500a+b 62500=500a+b and get 75000=1.5b and b=75000/1.5 and your answer is b=50000
C = an + b
55000 = 200n + b
b = 55000 - 200n ------------> equation 1
62500 = 500n + b ------------> equation 2
to find (b) ,
first, solve for (n) -------- using the 2nd equation
62500 = 500n + b ------------>then, substitute the value of (b) in the equation 1 to equation 2
(equation 1 : b = 55000- 200n )
62500 = 500n + 55000 -200n
62500 - 55000 = 500n - 200n
7500 = 300n
n = 7500/300
n = 25
now, we can solve for (b)
eq. 1
b = 55000 - 200n
b = 55000 - 200(25)
b = 55000 - 5000
eq. 2 62500 = 500n +b
b = 62500 - 500(25)
b = 62500 - 12500
b = 50000
therefore, B = 50000

C = an + b
C1 = 200a + b = 55000
C2 = 500a + b = 62500
5C1 - 2C2:
1000a + 5b = 275. 10³
1000a + 2b = 125 . 10³
= 3b = 150. 10³
Then b = (150. 10³) /3 = 50. 10³
