The equation is $2\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2}$ .

1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)

The new equation is $\frac{17}{8} -\frac{4}{8}$ . Subtract the numerators.

17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8

The improper fraction $\frac{13}{8}$ simplifies to $1\frac{5}{8}$ .

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$1\frac{5}{8}$

Hope this helps :)

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = − 2/3 x + 1/3 shown on the graph? (–2.7, 2.1) (–2.1, 2.7)

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The approximate solution to the system is $(-2.7, 2.1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations $\begin{bmatrix}y=0.5x+3.5\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix}$ you must:

$\mathrm{Rationalize\:equations}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}y=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x+\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Isolate}\:x\:\mathrm{for}\:-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\\\\-\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{19}{6}+\frac{1}{2}x\\\\-\frac{7}{6}x=\frac{19}{6}\\\\6\left(-\frac{7}{6}x\right)=\frac{19\cdot \:6}{6}\\\\-7x=19\\\\x=-\frac{19}{7}\approx-2.7$

$\mathrm{For\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-\frac{19}{7}\\\\y=-\frac{2}{3}\left(-\frac{19}{7}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\\\\y=\frac{15}{7}\approx 2.1$

The approximate solutions to the system of equations are:

$x=-2.7 ,\:y=2.1$

Use the graphs of f(x) =2/x and g(x)=1/-3-x to determine the solutions to f(x) = g(x).

AURORKA [14]

We have that
<span>f(x) =2/x
</span>and
<span>g(x)=1/(-3-x)

we know that
</span>the solutions to f(x) = g(x) is the intersection of both graphs

the <span>intersection of both graphs is the point (-2,-1)
</span>
the answer is the option
<span>A) (-2, -1)
</span>
see the attached figure
