then his new salary is 1.14s

Linear Equations A linear equation in two variables, x and y, can be written in the form

where a, b, and c are real numbers and a and b are not both zero. For example, 3 x + 2 y = 8 is a linear equation in two variables.

If the ratio of 2x to 5y is 3 to 4, what is the ratio of x to y ?

2x/5y = 3 / 4 => x/y = 15/8

to solve the system of equations 4 x + 3 y = 13 x + 2 y = 2

4 (2 - 2 y ) + 3 y = 13 8 - 8 y + 3 y = 13 => -8 y + 3 y = 5 => -5 y = 5 => y = -1 x + 2 (-1) = 2 = > x = 4

coefficient

A number that is multiplied by variables is called the coefficient of a term. For example, in the expression 2 x 2 + 7 x - 5, 2 is the coefficient of the term 2 x 2 , 7 is the coefficient of the term 7 x, and -5 is a constant term.

constant term

A term that has no variable is called a constant term.

algebraic expression

An algebraic expression has one or more variables and can be written as a single term or as a sum of terms. Here are some examples of algebraic expressions. 2 x , w^3 z + 5 z^2 - z^2 + 6

In general, for any function h ( x ) and any positive number c, the following are true.

• The graph of h ( x ) + c is the graph of h ( x ) shifted upward by c units. • The graph of h ( x ) - c is the graph of h ( x ) shifted downward by c units. • The graph of h ( x + c ) is the graph of h ( x ) shifted to the left by c units. • The graph of h ( x - c ) is the graph of h ( x ) shifted to the right by c units. • The graph of ch ( x) is the graph of h ( x) stretched vertically by a factor of c if c > 1. • The graph of ch ( x) is the graph of h ( x) shrunk vertically by a factor of c if 0 < c < 1.

The following rules are important for producing equivalent equations.

• When the same constant is added to or subtracted from both sides of an equation, the equality is preserved and the new equation is equivalent to the original equation. • When both sides of an equation are multiplied or divided by the same nonzero constant, the equality is preserved and the new equation is equivalent to the original equation.
