1 answer:

7 0

(y^-5) / (y^-2)
Flip fraction and get rid of the negative from the exponents (you can do that!)
(y^2) / (y^5)
(y * y) / (y * y * y * y * y)
Cancel y's
1 / (y * y * y)
1 / (y^3)

That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

Carmela mixes 3/4 kilogram of walnuts, 1/2 kilogram of almonds, and 1/4 kilogram of pecans together. She divides the mixed nuts

Evgesh-ka [11]

Amount of walnuts= $\frac{3}{4} kg$

Amount of almonds= $\frac{1}{2} kg$

Amount of pecans= $\frac{1}{4} kg$

Total amount= $\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

LCM is 4 so sum is = $\frac{3+2+1}{4}=\frac{6}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

As given, Carmela divides the mixed nuts into 3/10 kilogram bags so number of bags will be:

$\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{10}}$

= $\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{10}{3}$ = 5

Hence, answer is 5 bags.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (8,-4) and (6,-5)? Put your answer in fully reduced form

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

y2-y1/x2-x1

-5+4/6-8

1/2

so the slope we know is 1/2x now we use point slope form for the equation

y+4=1/2(x-8)

y+4=1/2x-4

y=1/2x-4-4

y=1/2x-8

answer = y=1/2x-8

Thank you :)
