Let's start by defining what a rational number is. It is a number that is expressed as a fraction. It could also be in decimal form, but only in circumstances when the decimal places are exact and not continuous or repeating. Let's take for example √7. Its exact value is 2.645751311. The decimals places are random and continuous that's why it can't be expressed into fraction. But if the decimal for is, say, 0.25, that is rational because it can be expressed to 1/4.

Now, the reason where it could be a fraction by using a denominator of 1 is invalid. All whole numbers have a denominator of 1. It is implicitly defined because any number divided by 1 is equal to the number itself. This is not a basis for a characteristic of a rational number. Therefore, the student is incorrect.

8.1 = 0.9a, how do you solve?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.9a' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.9a + -0.9a

Combine like terms: 0.9a + -0.9a = 0.0

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0

Add '-8.1' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 8.1 + -8.1 = 0.0

0.0 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

-0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -8.1 = -8.1

-0.9a = -8.1

Divide each side by '-0.9'.

a = 9

Simplifying

a = 9

I need your help please I don’t understand this
Step2247 [10]
The answer is y = -5/7x + 4/7! The first step is to subtract the 5x so it’s on the other side of the equal sign. So now the equation is 7y = -5x + 4. Then divide each of them for 7
