Question

use tools use a graphing calculator to solve each equation by using a system of equations. round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. - 4.7x + 16 = 16.79x - 80.2. hint: start by setting each side of the equation equal to y to create a system of equations. then enter both equations into a graphing calculator and look for points of intersection.

Explanation:

Step1: Rearrange the equation

Move all terms with \(x\) to one - side.
\(-4.7x-16.79x=-80.2 - 16\)

Step2: Combine like - terms

\((-4.7-16.79)x=-96.2\)
\(-21.49x=-96.2\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

\(x=\frac{-96.2}{-21.49}\approx4.48\)

Answer:

\(x\approx4.48\)
