You cannot solve a set You may be able to solve some questions about properties of a set, or the set and another set. But a set, by itself, is not something that requires or can be "solved".
how do you set the equation in algebra to solve 42 nickles to 19 dimes
Factor it! Set each equal to zero! Solve
Depending on the context, the "feasible region" or "solution set".
Set x = 0 and solve the resulting equation in y for the y-intercept. Set y = 0 and solve the resulting equation in x for the x-intercept.
A set of steps used to solve a mathematical computation.
how do you set the equation in algebra to solve 42 nickles to 19 dimes
set up a proportion. cross multiply. solve
The answer will depend on what information you do have!
Set it equal to 0 and subtract x and solve for y
Factor it! Set each equal to zero! Solve
That is a problem you will have to solve yourself.
An Algorithm
There are two answers in the solution set. To solve this we factor the left side to become 4a(a-4). This lets us get the 4. The other answers is 0. Set 4a=0 and solve for "a" and then a-4=0 and solve for "a."
Depending on the context, the "feasible region" or "solution set".
Set x = 0 and solve the resulting equation in y for the y-intercept. Set y = 0 and solve the resulting equation in x for the x-intercept.
