Answer:

t= -15/2       or       t= -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

\frac{-6}{5}t=9

and asked to solve for t. Therefore, we must isolate t on one side of the equation.

t is being multiplied by -6/5. The inverse of multiplication is division. We should divided both sides by -6/5, but we are dividing by a fraction. Instead, we can multiply by the reciprocal.

To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator (top number)  and denominator (bottom number).

-6/5 ----> -5/6

Multiply both sides of the equation by -5/6

\frac{-5}{6} *\frac{-6}{5}t=9 *\frac{-5}{6}

t=9 *\frac{-5}{6}

t=\frac{9}1 *\frac{-5}{6}

Multiply across the numerator and denominator.

t= \frac{9*-5}{1*6}

t=\frac{-45}{6}

Simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 3.

t=\frac{-45/3}{6/3}

t=\frac{-15}{2}

t= -7.5

t is equal to -15/2 or -7.5

Answer:

t= \frac{-15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 5/(-6).

\frac{5}{-6} *\frac{-6}{5}=\frac{5}{-6}*9

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table?
Andru [333]

Answer:

<em>y = - 3x + 4 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

y - y_{1} = m( x - x_{1} ) Point-slope form

y = mx + b  Point-intercept form

(1, 1)

(2, - 2)

m = (- 2 - 1 ) / (2 - 1) = - 3

y - 1 = - 3( x - 1 )

<em>y = - 3x + 4</em>

kerry is comparing the number 9.207 and 9.210. what is the least place value she needs to compare to decide which number is grea
andrew11 [14]
The number 9.210 is greater. The least place value is the 0 (Zero) and the 1 (One). This is because the 9 (Nine) and the 2 (Two) in 9.207 and 9.210 is the same numbers. There so, you can't compare those 2 (Two) numbers.
