Why in division there is sometimes remaindres?

In division problems, if the division results in a decimal or fraction, (not a whole number), than it has a remainder. If the division results in a whole number, then there is no remainder, or a remainder of zero.

Examples:

6/3=2

6/4=1.5

The reason is because the number you are trying to divide into parts is not a factor of the number you are trying to divide into parts. so there fore there are left overs. Example: 28/3 ( 28 divided by 3). 3 only goes into 28 9 time (because 9*3 is 27) and then your answer would be 9 REMAINDER of 1 because the 3 cannot equally divide into 28. Hope this helps!

Use substitution. What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the drop-down menus to explain your answer.

Answer:

The system of equations has one solution. The two equations are intersecting lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to use the substitution method, you would have to plug in y for 12x+2 in the second equation.

2(12x+2)=x+4

next, you have to distribute

24x+4=x+4

subtract 24x from each side

4=-23x+4

subtract 4 from each side

0=23x

divide each side by 23

x=0

now, plug in 0 to one equation.

y=12(0)+2

y=2

the lines intersect at one point, (0,2)

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to {y=0.6x+3}y=0.6x+3y, equals, 0, point, 6, x, plus, 3 and that passes through th

Dominik [7]

y = 0.6x - 3.2
The general form of the desired equation is
y = mx + b
where
m = slope of the line
b = y intercept of the line
If two lines are parallel, their slopes will be the same, Since the slope of the
given line "y = 0.6x +3" is 0.6, that will also be the slope of the desired line.
So our equation becomes:
y = 0.6x + b
Now we can substitute the x and y value of the desired point we want the new line to pass through and find b. So
y = 0.6x + b
-5 = 0.6(-3) + b
-5 = -1.8 + b
-3.2 = b
So the desired equation is now
y = 0.6x - 3.2

25% of what number is 15. Can u please explain how you solved it. Thanks :)

Ilya [14]

60.
let x be the number you're trying to solve.
(x/100)25 = 15
x/4 = 15
x = 15(4)
x = 60
