Into an improper fraction. An improper fraction is a fraction where the denominator is smaller than the numerator.

Example: Mixed number: 1 2/3
Improper fraction: 5/3

Yes, it is. Actually, it depends on if the fractions you're dividing have like or unlike denominators. If they have unlike, then yes. Let's say I was dividing 3/4 by 1/2. I would first, find the LCM (least common denominator) which in this case is already 4. I would then make 1/2 into 4ths. Lets see: 1/2x 2/2 (how many times 2'goes into 4) and I get 2/4. Now I'm ready to divide. Sorry, this problem you can't divide but you can subtract: 3/4-2/4= 1/4 Hope I helped!

What is the inverse of -9x+2

horsena [70]

Step-by-step explanation:

so,

y = -9x + 2

now we need to transform this equation that actually x is calculated out of y.

and then, at the end, to make the inverse function a formally correct function, we rename x to y and y to x.

so,

y = -9x + 2

y - 2 = -9x

x = -(y - 2)/9 = (-y + 2)/9

=> for a formal function definition

y = (-x + 2)/9

I REALLY NEED HELP!!! this is graded and plzzzz no links!!!!!

8 x 6 = 48 (regularly you’d divide by two but this is on both sides so we’ll leave it)
4 x 10 = 40 / 2 = 20
6 x 4 = 24 / 2 = 12
8 x 4 = 32 / 2 = 16
48 + 20 + 12 + 16 = 96
hope that helps! message me with any questions on other problems.
