Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2

Now we just have a simple equation to solve:

1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)

Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore

x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5

To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:

1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2

Someone please help ASAP will give brainliest
Art [367]

Answer:

y< -3/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

if you look at the graph, you can see the line is dotted, which means it is not equal to. eliminate a and c. the shade is toward the bottom of the y, which then you could eliminate a because b says the y value is greater than, which isn't true. you could also check it by plugging in any value for x!

hope this helped :)

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses -5(2x-3w-6)
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

15w - 10x + 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(2x - 3w - 6)

= (-5 * 2x) + (-5 * -3w) + (-5 * -6)

= -10x + 15w + 30

= 15w - 10x + 30.

Hope this helps!

There are 20 parrots at the animal sanctuary. Their population is increasing at a rate of 15% per year. There are also 24 snakes
worty [1.4K]
For the answer to the questions above,
A) Parrots are following a Geometric Progression of 15% increase.

20(1.15),  20(1.15)², 20(1.15)³,

Function  = 20(1.15)^n      Where n is at the end of year, n =1, 2, 3, ..

Snakes are increasing by 4.

28, 32, 36,....

Function =  24 + 4n          n = number of end year,      n =1, 2, 3,...

<span>B) After 10 years:              </span>
Parrot =  20(1.15)¹⁰    = 80.91115471

Snakes =  24 + 4(10) = 64

<span>C) After what time they are the same: </span>
We use trial and error:


Test:  n                             20(1.15^n)                        (24 + 4n)
          1                                    23                                   28
          2                                    26.45                              32
<span>          3                                    30.41                             36    </span>
          4                                    34.98                              40
          5                                    40.23                              44
          6                                    46.26                              48
          7                                    53.20                              52
          8                                    61.18                              56
          9                                    70.36                              60

After year 7, the Parrots increases far more.
<span>At year 7 they are roughly the same.</span>
