The number is 6 because five times 6 is 30, and 30 minus 2 is 28. You could also solve this backwards in the future and take 28 plus 2 and then divide that number by 5 (opposite of subtracting 2 is adding two, opposite of multiplying by five is dividing by 5). 

5x-2=28    (writing it this way might also help, because now you just have to solve for x)

2 less than (-2) 5 times a number (5x) is (=) 28 (28)
-2+5x=28
add 2 to both sides
5x=30
divide both sides by 5
x=6

the number is 6

1 - For this one I am not too sure as I generally only work with values that require an unknown. This one is an unknown asking for the values to see the fraction equivalent to 3/4 however if I had to guess here it would probably be 9/12 as it asks what is equal to 3/4. 3 goes into 9 3 times and into 12 4 times so it equals 3/4. Note: 9/12 has a numerator less than the denom but so does 6/8 which is the lesser fraction and still equals 3/4.
2 - Well simply put. \frac{5}{15} =  \frac{1}{3} 
3 - For this one we have to do a bit of work.
Basically just make an equation such as n for numerator and d for denominator.
d = 2n - 4
Now all we have to do is plug in.
2 * 3 - 4 = 2 
<span>2 * 6 - 4 = 8 </span>
<span>2 * 9 - 4 = 14 </span>
<span>2 * 12 - 4 = 20 
</span>So now we know our numerator or n equals 12.
The denominator or d equals 20 so we would get the fraction of....
\frac{12}{20}

Answer:

<h2><u><em>6 feet</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 8 cubic feet and a base length of 2 feet

Volume v = 1/3*a²h

inverse formula

8 = 1/3 * 2² * h

8 = 4 h /3

divide both the sides by 4

<u><em>h = 6 feet</em></u>

Graph the line with slope 1/2<br> that passes through the point (-1,2).
enyata [817]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see the attachment for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given point and slope, the equation of the line can be written in point-slope form:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -2 = 1/2(x +1) . . . . line with slope 1/2 through point (-1, 2)

__

Slope is the ratio of rise to run, so a slope of 1/2 means the line will rise 1 unit for each 2 units of run (to the right). If you're plotting this by hand, you can identify a second point that is 2 right and 1 up from the given point:

  (-1 +2, 2 +1) = (1, 3).

You can draw your line through those two points.
