Answer: 7/8

What you have to do here is to find the highest number which can be divided by both. Or you have to divide both the numerator and denominator until it can not be divided by any number anymore. You can do this by finding the highest common factor (<u>HCF)</u> of both the number, 35 and 40.

Highest Common Factor: HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides the numbers. For example, 2 is the HCF of 4 and 6.

So, the highest number which divides 35 and 40, is 5. Now 35 divided by 5 is 7 and 40 divided by 5 is 8. The final answer is 7/8 and there is no more numbers which can divide both of them by a specific number.

Please help I don’t understand.I need to know if it is a linear function and how to write it in standard form. :)

Ipatiy [6.2K]

A linear function is one whose formula can be written in the form

Ax + By = C where A, B, C are real numbers and A, B are not both 0. (This is standard form, too.)

$\frac{x+4}{2} = \frac{y-4}{3}$

"Cross multiply."

$3(x+4) = 2(y-4) \\ 3x+12 = 2y-8$

Subtract 12.

$3x=2y-20$

Subtract 2y.

$3x-2y=-20$

This matches up with standard form with A = 3, B = -2, C = -20.

It's a linear function.

Jake says adding 0 to an addendum does not change a sum. Is he correct

siniylev [52]

Nothing changes if you don't add anything.

Example:

10+10=20
20+0=20

nothing changes.
