First set the equation equal to y by adding x to each side, then divide everything by 8. then set x to zero and solve to find the y - intercept of 1/2 which is just 4/8 reduced. you get this answer because x/8 becoming 0/8 is just 0 leaving you with only 1/2. then reset the equation with x and set y to zero and solve for x to get the x- intercept of -4. you get this by subtracting 1/2 from both sides leaving you -1/2=x/8 and multiply by 8 to get -4=x
So we start off by subtracting 137.3 from 180 getting 42.5. If you add the ratios up (3+4) you get 7 and 7 should equal 42.5. thus,
42.5/7= 85/14
(85/14)*3=18.2 or (255/14 to be exact)
(85/14)*4= 24.29 or (170/7 to be exact)
Answer:
the number is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number
Let the unknown number be x
two third of the number is 
10 less than two third the number becomes

one fourth the number becomes 
10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number

We need to solve for x
LCD is 3*4 = 12
Multiply the whole equation by 12

8x - 120 = 3x
add 120 on both sides
8x = 3x + 120
Subtract 3x on both sides
5x = 120
divide by 5 on both sides
x= 24
Answer:
Candice ran 1/6 of a lap further than Chris.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out how much further Candice runs than Chris, subtract the distance Chris runs from the distance Candice runs
so

therefore
Candice ran 1/6 of a lap further than Chris.
Let y be x, and x be y.
x = 4y - 8
Rearrange to make y the subject.
x + 8 = 4y
Therefore
y = (x + 8) / 4
is the inverse.
