Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression x-2 is from the equation y = x - 2.

To find the inverse of the equation, switch the "x" and "y" variables, then solve or isolate for "y", meaning to separate it from the other numbers.

y = x - 2 Original equation

x = y - 2 Switched "x" and "y" variables

x + 2 = y - 2 + 2 Add 2 to both sides to cancel out '-2' on the side with "y"

x + 2 = y

y = x + 2 Variable is on left side in standard formatting

To isolate, do the reverse operation for the number you want to get rid of.

On the side with "y", I wanted to get rid of '-2' so I could separate "y" from everything else. '+2' is the reverse operation for '-2'.

Answer:

a. $\frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. $\textbf{3} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{+} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{4}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $a\frac{x}{y} = a + \frac{x}{y}$

$\therefore 3 + 1\frac{1}{4} = 3 + 1 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= 4 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= \frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\textbf{2} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{-} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{5}}{\textbf{8}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $-c\frac{a}{b} = - c - \frac{a}{b}$

$\therefore 2 - 1\frac{5}{8} = 2 - 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= \frac{8 - 5}{8}$

$= \frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Hence, the answer.

Answer:

(-5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

plug x into the equation x - 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

add 5 to both sides: -5y = -10

divide by -5: y = 2

Jordan needs one can of juice to make 24 servings of a punch. How many servings of punch can she make with 1/2 a can of juice?

kati45 [8]

Compare the two sets of numbers with a ratio. 1 can for 24 servings is to 1/2 can for x servings.

x= # servings from 1/2 can

1/24= (1/2)/x
cross multiply

1 * x= 24 * 1/2

x= 24/2

x= 12 servings

ANSWER: She can make 12 servings from 1/2 can of juice.

Hope this helps! :)
