When an equation has two variables there is a number of values that the two variables could have?

If an equation has two variables, we'll call them (x,y), the variables can be any value as long as both sides of the equation have the same result. If the equation was x = y, then the variables could be (1,1), (2,2), (3,3),etc...


Could zero be a possible solution to the equation?

Yes, zero could be a possible solution to the equation.


How do you write an equation that has variables on both sides and has a solution of -2?

An example could be: 3x-2 = x-6 and so the variable x = -2


32x plus 60y 1116?

It could be a linear equation in two variables. A single linear equation in two variables cannot be solved.


How do you solve 8x-3y equals 12?

You cannot "solve" a single linear equation with two variables. Alternatively, you could argue that any one of the infinitely many points on the line represented by that equation is a solution.


What do you get when you solve an equation?

You could call it "the answer" or "the solution".

It could be an expression or an equation or inequality.


Could you graph an equation containing more than four variables?

Yes, but it could be very difficult to interpret the graph. However, if some of the variables were qualitative or binary, it would not be too bad.

What is another name for the x term of a linear equation?

The domain. It need not be the "independent variable" since the variables could be interdependent.


What is 2a - 7b divided by 3 equals 9?

Since this is a linear equation with 2 variables, it is an unsolvable equation as a and b could be anything, to find an exact answer you need another equation that relates to the first one.


Why would any solution to a quadriac equation not be used in real life?

Because there is no such thing as a quadriac equation and so there cannot be a solution to it and so there is nothing that could have been used in real life!
