Let their ages be g and k. Then g = k + 3.

Next: (g+7) + (k+7) = 41.

Substituting k + 3 for g in the above equation, we get k + 3 + 7 + k + 7 = 41.

Combining like terms: 2k + 17 = 41. Then 2k = 24, and k = 12.

Kevin is 12 years old and Greg is 15 years.

Write the decimal for 1/8. Explain why this decimal is called a terminating decimal.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The decimal is 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor (GCF) of 1 and 8 is 1. Convert 1/8 to its simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by its GCF and you get

1/1=1

- -

8/1= 1 over eight

Answer:

The answer is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 = - 4 \\ - 9 = y \\ if \: you \: cross \: multiply \: you \: have \frac{3y}{3} = \frac{36}{3} which \: will \: give \: you \: 13$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation, find the slope of the line using the two points. Find the difference in y values over the difference in x values.

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{10-4}{4-0}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$

Write the equation using the slope m=3/2 and the point slope form.

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-10=\frac{3}{2}(x-4)$

This is the equation of the line. You can convert it to slope intercept form:

$y-10=\frac{3}{2}(x-4)\\y-10 = \frac{3}{2}x - 6\\y=\frac{3}{2}x +4$

Is negative 1/3 less than 1/5

nika2105 [10]

Negatives are always smaller then positives because negatives are less then 0. So, yes, -1/3 is less then 1/5
