We need to cross multiply
So we start off by multiplying the numerator of the right fraction by the denominator of the left fraction, and the same thing only switched around. We get the equation:
3n=24
divide both sides by 3 to get
n=8

Most times, it’s good to talk to your teacher for help. I think it would be a good idea to ask your parent, sibling or any adult for help. Sometimes you think harder than you should so relax and try reading the question again. I hope you figure this out! Good luck!

WRITE AN COMPOUND INEQUALITY FOR THIS SENTENCE

Mila [183]

Hello there!

Write a compound inequality for this sentence: 'w' is less than 4 and greater than or equal to -8
Only use 'w' once.

W is less than four ~ $4 \ \textgreater \ w$

W is greater than or equal to -8 ~ $w \geq -8$

If we were to put this together, it would look like:

$4 \ \textgreater \ w \geq -8$

I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!

Answer:

Not Sure Without Slope

Step-by-step explanation:

you could use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)(point slope form) where m is the slope, y1 is the first y point and x1 is the first x point.

For example if a line has slope 3 and passes through the points (5, 6), then the formula you would solve is y-6=3(x-5) to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form and you should know what to do with everything else.
