AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the correctness of various algebraic solutions. Key points include the verification of equations such as 1.8x - 3(3x + 6) = 9, where x = 3 is proposed as the solution, and the function H(x) = 2.75x + 71.48 predicting a height of 181.48 cm for a humerus length of 40 cm. Other equations discussed include systems of equations, inequalities, and specific algebraic expressions, with some answers indicating no solutions or parallel lines. The importance of substituting values back into original equations for verification is emphasized. Overall, the thread seeks confirmation of these algebraic solutions and methods.

You can check these yourself. You found an answer now simply put the value for x in the original equation. If the equality holds you have the right answer, if it does not you have the wrong answer.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
