Answer: -5/12

Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.

So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.

Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.

Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.

So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.

So our answer is -5/12.

Be very careful with your signs!

Answer:

-5/12

Cross reduce the 8 and the 2 to get -5/4 x 1/3 and then you multiply normally to get -5/12

Pls answer this math problem
ankoles [38]

Answer:

  -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting x=4 into the equation gives a 2-step linear equation in y. It is solved by isolating the variable and making its coefficient be 1.

__

<h3>use x=4</h3>

When x=4, the equation becomes ...

  -3x +9y = -57

  -3(4) +9y = -57

  -12 +9y = -57

<h3>solve 2-step equation</h3>

The <u>first step</u> is to "isolate" the variable term (9y) by adding the opposite of the constant that is on the same side of the equation. The result is that the variable term is by itself on one side of the equal sign.

  -12 +12 +9y = -57 +12 . . . . . add the opposite of -12

  9y = -45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The <u>second step</u> is to make the coefficient of y be 1. We do that by multiplying by its inverse, 1/9. Equivalently, we divide by 9.

  (1/9)(9y) = (1/9)(-45) . . . . multiply by the inverse of 9

  y = -5 . . . . . . simplify

Explain why a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function. Be sure to use the definition of a function
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

A function is a relationship where any one x-value/input only has <u>one </u>corresponding y-value/output. (note: a y-value can have multiple x-values).

> This can be called "assigning one y-value to every x element".

The vertical line test places a line that would connect all y-values of an x-value (that is, if it were to have multiple y-values). If multiple points can be found along the vertical line, it is, therefore, by the definition of a function, not a function. (Because an x-value will have more than one y-value).

So, a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function because an x-value will correspond with more than one y-value.

hope this helps!!

Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4
