A point with an ordinate -1.3 belongs to the graph of the equation x-xy=46. Find the abscissa of this point.

Answer 1

We know that the point (x, -1.3) satisfies the equation x-xy=46. Substituting -1.3 for y, we get:

x - x(-1.3) = 46

Simplifying:

x + 1.3x = 46

2.3x = 46

x = 20

Therefore, the abscissa of the given point is 20.
