Answer:
2) 7x-6=2x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
It equals 8/9, and the equation, (5x + 2(x-3) = -2(x - 1)) equals 8/9 as well.
There's no diagram here so I can't be specific, but I've attached an image.
Answer:
350
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 210 girls, then the number of boys is (210÷3)x7=350.
<u>Answer</u>
B(18/5,0)
<u>Explanation</u>
First we find the coordinates of C;
C (x, y) = [(-3+7)/2, (2+6)/2]
= (2, 4)
Find the equation of CD.
slope = (6-2)/(7--3)
= 4/10 = 2/5
slope of CD = -5/2
-5/2 = (y - 4)/(x - 2)
-5/2(x - 2) = y - 4
(-5/2) x + 5 = y - 4
y = (-5/2)x + 9
For the x-intercept y = 0
∴ y = (-5/2)x + 9
0 = (-5/2)x + 9
5/2 x = 9
x = 2/5 × 9
= 18/5
x-intercept = (18/5, 0)
He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
