[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2

1 answer:

6 0

One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:

<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:

4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2

Then 8x + 30 = 5x

3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!

What is the product of (–0.9)(–2.4)?<br> –3.3<br> –2.16<br> 2.16<br> 3.3

saul85 [17]

The answer would be 2.16.

This is because the two negatives would cancel each other out when multiplying. This would basically make the question $0.9*2.4$ .
Now 3.3 is definitely not less than 2.4, so the answer would be 2.16

If a line falls on the points (3, 1) and (9,5), what is its slope? Enter your

Anvisha [2.4K]

<h3>Answer: 2/3</h3>

============================================================

Use the slope formula to get that answer

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (5-1)/(9-3)

m = 4/6

m = 2/3

We have a rise of 2 and a run of 3.

In other words, we move up 2 and over to the right 3.
