Answer:

a = 3/2 b

When we simplify 3/2, we get 1.5

a = 1.5b

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation 7a - 2b = 5a + b

Isolate the variables.

Subtract 5a from both sides, we get

7a - 5a - 2b = 5a - 5a + b

2a - 2b = b

Now add 2b from both sides, we get

2a - 2b + 2b = b + 2b

2a = 3b

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

a = 3/2 b

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

Answer:

for #1 it's 1, 4, 5, 6

for #2 it's both lines have the same slope

for #3 it's both lines have a different y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 explanation: all of them have the y-intercept of -8

ex. y = 3x (- 8) y = 5x (-8) y = 2x (-8) y = (1/3)x (-8)

#2 explanation: both have a slope of (1/4)

#3 explanation: y = (1/4)x there is not y-intercept that we know of and y = (1/4)x - 5 the y-intercept is at -5 therefore the y-intercepts are different

Olive can read 5 pages of her book in 30 minutes at what unit is olive reading

il63 [147K]

Answer:

1 page per 6 minutes or 10 pages per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that when rates are expressed as quantity of 1 they are called unit rates.

We can represent our problem as unit rate in two ways; either by getting our numerator as 1 or our denominator as 1.

$\frac{5 pages}{30 minutes} =\frac{1}{6 minutes}$

We know that an hour has 60 minutes. We can get our denominator equal to 60 minutes by multiplying by 2.

$\frac{5*2}{30*2}= \frac{10 pages}{60 minutes}$

$\frac{10 pages}{hour}$

Therefore, Olive is either reading at 10 pages per hour or 1 page per 6 minutes.
