Write a linear equation in one variable for each of the following situations:

i. y = 4

ii. p = 45

iii. m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) In triangle PQR, PQ = QR. So that,

Perimeter = PQ + PR + QR

40 = (2y + 3) + (5y - 2) + (2y + 3)

    = 2y + 3 + 5y - 2 + 2y + 3

40 = 9y + 4

40 - 4 = 9y

36 = 9y

y =

y = 4

(b) The age of Rahim's father is p years. Since he is 29 years older than Rahim, we have;

p = 16 + 29

p = 45

Rahim's father is 45 years old.

(c) Cost of a chair = RM 5.90

Cost of m chairs = RM 5.90 x m

                           = RM 5.90m

Amount paid = RM 50 - RM 20.50

                      = RM 29.50

Thus,

RM 5.90m = RM 29.50

5.90m = 29.50

m =

   = 5

m = 5

The number of units of chairs bought is 5.

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
