The answer to the equation is r=-9.8


First combine the like terms of the equation.

7.4-9-2r=18

7.4+(-9)=-1.6

-1.6-2r=18


Continue by adding 1.6 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

-1.6-2r=18

+1.6 +1.6

-----------------

-2r=19.6


Divide -2 on both sides.

\frac{-2r}{-2} = \frac{19.6}{-2}

r=-9.8

We can get the answer to this equation by solving for the variable (r).


7.4 - 9 - 2r = 18


We want to get r on one side, so we want to push everything else to the other side.


-2r = 18 - 7.4 + 9


-2r = 19.6


2r = -19.6


r = -9.8

What represents the equal number of parts that equal a whole in a fraction.
Alex
This refers to the "denominator" of a fraction. By definition, the denominator tells you how many you need to have of an equal part in order to create a whole. The numerator tells you how much of those equal parts you have.

Solve system by elimination<br> y=x^2<br> y=x+2<br> SHOW YOUR WORK
Dimas [21]
We have that
y=x²----> equation 1<span>
y=x+2-----> equation 2

multiply equation 1 by -1
-y=-x</span>²

add equation 1 and equation 2
-y=-x²
 y=x+2
------------
0=-x²+x+2-------------> -x²+x+2=0-----> x²-x-2=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(x²-x)=2
<span>Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
</span>(x²-x+0.5²)=2+0.5²

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-0.5)²=2+0.5²
(x-0.5)²=2.25-----> (x-0.5)=(+/-)√2.25-----> (x-0.5)=(+/-)1.5
x1=1.5+0.5-----> x1=2
x2=-1.5+0.5---- > x2=-1

for x=2
y=x²----> y=2²----> y=4
the point is (2,4)

for x=-1
y=x²----> y=(-1)²---> y=1
the point is (-1,1)

the answer is
the solution of the system are the points
(2,4) and (-1,1)

what is the difference between an irrational number and an integer? in your explanation be sure to include various key words you
zhuklara [117]
An rational number, is a real number, that can be written in the form of p/q, where q is not equal to 0 or 1. A common misconception is that irrational numbers do not terminate; this is false. For example, 1/3 equals 0.3 repeating, but 1/3 can be written as p/q. As you can infer, an irrational number is a number, that cannot be written as p/q. One example is pi, or e.
