Answer:

$UV = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$UW = 13$

$VW = 11$

Required

Determine UV

From the question, we have

$UW = UV + VW$

Make UV the subject of formula

$UV = UW - VW$

Substitute 11 and 13 for VW and UW, respectively

$UV = 13 - 11$

$UV = 2$

Complete equation of the line through (1,4) and (2,2)

Answer:

y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx + c

m is the gradient and c is the y intercept

m = (y 2 - y 1) / (x 2 - x 1) = (2-4) / ( 2-1) = -2

y= -2x + c

To find c, just sub one of the coordinates into the eqn:

By using the coordinates (1,4)

4 = -2(1) + c

c = 6

Therefore, the equation is y = -2x + 6

What is the elimination method in math?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

In the elimination method you either add or subtract the equations to get an equation in one variable. When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

Hope this helps!

What is 3/4 = w + 2/5

shusha [124]

Convert all fractions to have the same denominator.

To convert, we must find the least common multiple of the two denominators of the fractions:

Multiples of 4: {4,8,12,16,20}
Multiples of 5: {5,10,15,20}

The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20.

Multiply the fractions by a number that will result in the denominator being 20:

$\frac{3}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{15}{20}$

$\frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{20}$

The equation should now look like this:

$\frac{15}{20} = w + \frac{8}{20}$

Subtract both sides by 8/20 to get w by itself:

$\frac{15}{20} - \frac{8}{20} = \frac{7}{20}$

$w = \frac{7}{20}$

The value of w is 7/20.
