Simplify the following:
1/3 - 1/6 + 4/18

The gcd of 4 and 18 is 2, so 4/18 = (2×2)/(2×9) = 2/2×2/9 = 2/9:
1/3 - 1/6 + 2/9

Put 1/3 - 1/6 + 2/9 over the common denominator 18. 1/3 - 1/6 + 2/9 = 6/18 - 3/18 + (2×2)/18:
6/18 - 3/18 + (2×2)/18

2×2 = 4:
6/18 - 3/18 + 4/18

6/18 - 3/18 + 4/18 = (6 - 3 + 4)/18:
(6 - 3 + 4)/18

6 + 4 = 10:
(10 - 3)/18

10 - 3 = 7:

Answer: 7/18

Find an inequality that you can use to disprove John statement. explain your thinking.
dem82 [27]
Try this inequality with 0 as the right side.

-x > 0

According to John, we multiply both sides by -1, and the inequality sign does not change direction, so we get this

x > 0

Let's use a number for x that makes the original inequality true.
Let x = -2.

-x > 0

-(-2) > 0

2 > 0

As you can see, -2 does work on the original equation.

Now let's try -2 in John's solution.

x > 0

-2 > 0 which is a false statement.

Now let's solve it again, but we will reverse the inequality symbol when we multiply both sides by -1.

-x > 0

x < 0

Try x = -2.

-2 < 0   which is true

Now it works.

John is incorrect.
If you multiply or divide an equation by a negative number, even if one of its sides is 0, you still must change the direction of the inequality symbol.

An electric company charges an initial monthly fee for service and a fixed rate per kilowatt-hours (kWh) used. This table shows
Vlada [557]

<em>Here we are required to determine the initial monthly fee charged by the electric company.</em>

The initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10

To solve this, we need to evaluate the slope and intercepts of the equation of the straight line graph of the relation.

y = mx + c.

  • where m = slope of the relation.

  • and c = <em>intercept = the initial fee charged by the electric company</em>.

  • y = <em>Monthly charge at each time</em>.

  • x = Usage

To find the slope;

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(X2 - x1)

  • m = (28 -22)/(150 - 100)

  • m = 6/50

  • m = 0.12.

By substituting m into the equation y = mx + c, alongside a pair of values of usage and monthly charge, we can obtain the intercept, c (i.e the initial fee charged).

Therefore, m = 0.12 , y = 82 and X = 600;

we then have;

  • 82 = 0.12(600) + c.

  • C = 82 -72

  • C = $10.

Therefore, the initial fee charged by the electric company is; C = $10.

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length , a, that are longer than the length of the base , b. The perimeter of the
Sholpan [36]
We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7 
where b represents the base.

Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a

We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
