Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$Rule(s): a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot c + b}{c}, \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}, \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a\cdot \:d}{b\cdot \:c} \\2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\\=\frac{8}{3}\\=\frac{-\frac{8}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}\\=-\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}\\=\frac{-8\cdot \:3}{3\cdot \:4}\\= \frac{-24}{12}\\= -2$

2(2x-4) because when you multiply 2 x 2x it equals 4x. When you multiply 2 x 4 it equals 8. Leaving you with 4x-8

A __________ exists between two variables when the values of one variable are somehow associated with the values of the other v

Correlation is what you're looking for. Basically, it means that the two numbers are somehow related. Some examples of correlation would be positive correlation, negative correlation, and no correlation.

Write the following number as ratios of integers

s2008m [1.1K]

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.

We'll let $x=7.\overline{6}$ . We want to cut the $0.\overline{6}$ bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If $x=7.\overline{6}$ , then we can also say that $10x=76.\overline{6}$ . Maybe I was lying a bit: the $x$ is our real scalpel here, and $10x$ is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting $x$ off of $10x$ ) leaves us with:

$10x-x=76.\overline{6}-7.\overline{6}\\9x=69$

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find $x = 69/9$ , which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us $x=23/3$
