ANSWER: 8/21

Step:
1. Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
The two denominator which is the bottom number have to be the same ALWAYS when adding and subtracting the fraction. So to find the GCF, you keep multiplying until you see the same number, only use the bottom number to find the GCF
7: 7, 14, 21, 28
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27
GCF= 21

2. 5/7 -1/3
Multiple both to get 21
5/7 x 3/3 = 15/21
1/3 x 7/7 = 7/21

3. Sove
15/21 - 7/21
= 8/21

Math property x+(-x)=0

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Bcs, in the equation x+(-x)=0 you do x-x ( which is basically x+ -x) and they cancel each other out. This means your equation is 0=0

The equation y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation slove y = mx + b for m

Andrei [34K]

To solve for m means to get it alone on a side
so..

$y = mx + b$
$y - b = mx$
$\frac{y - b}{x} = m$

to find the area count the number of squares and use A=b*h

than do the same for the triangle using A=.5*b*h

15=3*5

10.5=.5*3*7

10.5+15=25.5

Can't figure out this problem can anyone help if so thank you

Answer:

10th term of the sequence = 0.537

Step-by-step explanation:

First three terms of the sequence are → 5, 4, $\frac{16}{5}$ ..........

Ratio of 2nd and 1st term of the sequence = $\frac{4}{5}$

Ratio of 3rd and 2nd term of the sequence = $\frac{\frac{16}{5} }{4}$

= $\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, ratio between every successive term to the previous term is common.

Common ratio 'r' = $\frac{4}{5}$

First term of the sequence 'a' = 5

nth term of a geometric sequence = $a(r)^n$

Therefore, nth term of the given term will be $T_n=5(\frac{4}{5})^n$

Now we have to find the 10 term of the given sequence.

For n = 10,

$T_{10}=5(\frac{4}{5})^{10}$

= 0.53687

≈ 0.537

Therefore, 10th term of the sequence is 0.537
