Help! Algebra

[CyGal]

I need help. It's been too long since I took algebra.

Can someone solve this for me?

1717X + 845Y = 1,000,000

You can solve for either variable, but it won't give you a number answer unless you have a 2nd equation with the same two variables.

1 variable, 1 equation = numerical answer
2 variables, 2 equations = numerical answer
etc.

 

[trevn]

Which variable do you want to solve for? Like cstrunk said, you won't get a numerical answer unless you have another set of equations to go with it.

 

[dtclones]

Yeah, not enough info.

 

[rbrook]

Yeah, not enough info.

Agree. Need two equations with two unknowns.

Can someone solve this for me?

1717X + 845Y = 1,000,000

Y = pi
X is obviously answered by using the formula ax2 + bx + c = 0

1717X + 845Y = 1,000,000

Like others said above, you need a second equation. You can solve for one variable in therms of the other, though.

Solving for X:
X = (1000000 - 845Y) / 1717

Solving for Y:
Y = (1000000 - 1717X) / 845

Can someone solve this for me?

1717X + 845Y = 1,000,000

X = (1,000,000-845Y)/1717
Y = (1,000,000-1717X)/845

Ok, thanks guys. I wasn't finding a way to an answer online, but now I know why.

 

[Cyfan4good]

I aint two good at cypher'in, especially that alphabet math yur talkin bout. Naught goes into naught, naught. Thats all I got for ya.
:wink:

 

[cdekovic]

Are you a double naught spy?:biglaugh:

 

[Cyfan4good]

I have actually acheived quad naught status. I know you're in disbelief, but it's true.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I think the answer is 4.

 

[HiltonMagic]

I think the answer is 4.

nope, it's 2

 

[cstrunk]

Don't forget to take the elephant into account.

 

[isunorth]

If you're trying to compute how many 3s Lucca hit tonight, the answer is 10 :smile:

 

[Cyclonepride]

nope, it's 2

Damn:embarrassed:

 

[CyForPresident]

Don't forget to take the elephant into account.

Someone in my Quantitative Genetics class drew a Whale for an answer on the last test.

For Genetics 410, I once wrote out the entire lyrics to "The Weight" by The Band for an answer.

Isn't school fun?

 

[Tre4ISU]

X = (1,000,000-845Y)/1717
Y = (1,000,000-1717X)/845

exactly, then just plug one in and solve for the other. Plug that number into the original and you have your second variable.
