Answer: 17 1/6 or  17-18

(u guess which is right if its an integer ^^)

Step-by-step explanation:

25 3/4 ÷ 1 1/2

First change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

<u>25 3/4 </u>= <u>103/4</u>

<u>1 1/2 </u>= <u>3/2</u>

Now divide: 103/4 ÷ 3/2

103/4 * 2/3 (multiply by flipping the second fraction)

= 206/12

Now divide: 206 ÷ 12

= 17 2/12 (<u>simplified:</u> 17 1/6)

<u><em>The answer will be 17 1/6 </em></u> (OR 17-18)

- ( x - 1 ) = -4x - 2
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Remove the parenthesis

   -x + 1 = -4x - 2

2. Get x alone

  -x + 1 = -4x - 2

  +1x        +1x

1=-3x - 2

+2      +2

3=-3x          -3x/-3= x      3/-3 = -1      

x=-1

A line passes through the points (-1,-1) and (5,8) which points lie on the same line?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: all points (x,y) that satisfy y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is

\frac{-1-8}{-1-5}=\frac{-9}{-6}=\frac{3}{2}

So, substituting into point-slope form, the equation is

y+1=\frac{3}{2}(x+1)\\\\y+1=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, all points (x,y) that satisfy y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2} will lie on the same line.

The figure below is a square. Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal forms two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and a and b are the two legs of the triangle.

From the Isosceles Base Theorem, the two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are always equal. Since we're given a diagonal of \sqrt{5}, we have:

x^2+x^2=\sqrt{5}^2,\\2x^2=5,\\x^2=\frac{5}{2},\\x=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}}

Two 6-sided dice are rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 8?
Serhud [2]

Answer: 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space when two 6- sided dice are rolled is given below:

(+) 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4 5 6 7 8 9 10

5 6 7 8 9 10 11

6 7 8 9 10 11  12

The total sample space is 36.

Sum greater than 8 are : {9,10,11,12}

which are 10 in number:

Therefore : the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 8 will be :

number of the sum greater than 8 / Total sample space

That is ;

P(sum greater than 8) = 10/36

P(sum greater than 8) = 5/18
