Review your solution to part (b) of problem 5-13. You probably multiplied each fraction by the lowest (least) common denominator

(LCD), which, in this case, is . But what would you do if you could not determine the LCD? You will explore this idea in parts (a) through (e) below. Multiply the three denominators: . Multiply both sides of the equation by the product you got in part (a). This gives you an equivalent equation. Have your partner multiply both sides of the equation by 10 and find a different equivalent equation. Now, solve your equation for and check your answer. While you solve your equation, your partner will be solving his or her equation. Compare your result with your partner's. Why do both your method and your partner's method work? That is, why do both using the product of the denominators and using the LCD of both successfully eliminate fractions from equations?

<h3>Missing Part of Question:</h3>

Some information was missing so I am attaching the complete question.

<h3></h3><h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Given Equation is:

  \frac{3y}{5}\;+\;\frac{3}{2}\;=\;\frac{7y}{10}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;------\;\;(1)

Step (a)

Let, A = 5 * 3 * 10

      A = 150

Step (b)

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) with A = 150, we get,

90y_{_1}\; + \;225\; =\; 105y_{_1}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;------\;\;(a)

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by 10 we get,

6y_{_2}\; + \;15\; =\; 7y_{_2}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;------\;\;(b)

Step (c)

Solving Equation (a), we get

105y_{_1}\;-\; 90y_{_1}\;=\;225\\\\15y_{_1}\;= \;225\\\\y_{_1}\;=\;\frac{225}{15}\\\\y_{_1}\;=\;15

Solving Equation (b), we get

7y_{_{2}}\; -\; 6y_{_{2}}\; = \;15\\\\y_{_{2}}\;=\; 15

Step (d)

y{_{_1}} \;= \;15; \;\;\;\;\;\&\;\;\;\;\;y{_{_2}}\; = \;15;\\\\\therefore y{_{_1}}\; =\; y{_{_2}}

Step (e)

Both methods work the same because as long as we multiply (or divide) the same amount to the total equation, the equation balances itself out. For example, consider an equation

x = 2;

If we multiply it by 10 on both sides we will get

10x = 20,

If we simplify the above equation, however, we will get the same initial equation.

x = 20/10

x = 2

Which of the following lines is perpendicular to y = -5x - 2?
kykrilka [37]
Answer: c is perpendicular to y = -5x - 2

Explanation: The slope of a perpendicular line is an opposite reciprocal of the original slope/line. (Basically switch the numerator and denominator and the sign. In this case, the slope is -5/1x. It’s opposite reciprocal is 1/5x.)

You can take a look at my notes for further clarification. Hope this helps!

Stan has made a $125.30 monthly deposit into an account that pays 1.5% interest, compounded monthly, for 35 years. He would now
MissTica
The future value of a monthly deposit A=125.30 at annual interest i=0.015 per annum for n=35 years compounded monthly is given by
FV=A((1+i/12)^(12*n)-1)/(i/12)
=125.30(1+0.015/12)^(12*35)/(0.015/12)
=$69156.05

The annuity formula is given by
Payment = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
where
r=interest rate per period = 0.015/12
PV= $69156.05
n=20*12=240
so
Payment = (0.015/12)<span>69156.05/(1-(1+0.015/12)^(-240))
= $333.71  per month.</span>

The cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230. The cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320. Writ
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = 9x/5 + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are represent the information as coordinate (x,y)

If the cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230, this is expressed as (100, 230)

Also if the cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320, this is expressed as;

(150, 320)

Find the equation of a line passing through the points. The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Get the slope;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 320-230/150-100

m = 90/50

m = 9/5

Get the y-intercept by substituting m = 9/5 and any point say (100, 230) into the expression y = mx+c

230 = 9/5(100)+c

230 = 9(20)+c

230 = 180 + c

c = 230-180

c = 50

Get the required equation

y = mx+c

y = 9/5 x + 50

Hence an equation for the cost of an order of steel bars (y) in terms of the weight of steel bars ordered (x) is y = 9x/5 + 50

Which of the following is a true statement about the equation y = -7/8x + 10
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -7/8x - 10

in y = mx + b form, which is what this is in, the slope can be found in the m position

y = mx + b

y = -7/8x - 10

so u have slope (m) = - 7/8 <====

the slope is not 10

the graph will not pass thru the origin

this equation does not represent a proportional relationship
