For this question, you have to work backwards, so if she ate a cookie, working backwards, you would have to add, not subtract or divide.

Mary had 5 cookies after she gave half away. So 5 is half of something. 5 x 2 = 10. She had 10 cookies before she gave half to her brother.

Before she had 10, she ate one. So you add one to the ten.(Remember, working backwards). 10+1=11.

She had 11 cookies after she gave half. So 11 x 2 = 22.
She had 22 cookies before she gave half away.
She ate one before she had 22. 22+1=23.
We are finished. Mary started with 23 cookies.

Hope you understand! :)

1/2 (4-k)=2/5 <br>Distribute and find LCM
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

  • 20 -5k = 4
  • the LCM of the denominators is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to do the problem in the reverse order: find the LCM, then distribute. That way, I'm not distributing a fraction.

The LCM of 2 and 5 is their product: 2·5 = 10. Multiplying the equation by 10 gives ...

  5(4 -k) = 4

Now, distributing, we get ...

  20 -5k = 4

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that includes the point (3,2) and has a slope of 4/3.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope (m) = ⁴/3

Point on the line = (x, y) = (3, 2)

Required:

Write the equation in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b

Solution:

Since we know the slope(m), we need to find the y-intercept (b).

This, substitute (x, y) = (3, 2) and m = ⁴/3 into y = mx + b, and solve for b. Thus:

2 = ⁴/3(3) + b

2 = 4 + b

2 - 4 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

To write the equation, substitute m = ⁴/3 and b = -2 into y = mx + b

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