Step-by-step explanation:
x = n of years of mary
x+8= n of years of her bro
So her brother is (x+8)/x times as old as Mary
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form can be obtained by solving for y.
8x-y=-6
-8x
-y=-8x-6
divide by negative 1 to turn y positive.
y=8x+6
First you must set f (x) =15:
15 = 2x - 5
Now you must solve like a normal equation:
15 = 2x - 5 )+5
20 = 2*x ):2
10 = x
ANSWER: The value of x is 10
19) 48 alligators; 7/8 of the alligators were asleep. How many were not asleep?
8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
48 * 1/8 = 48/8 = 6 alligators were not asleep.
20) 2/3 of the student population participated. 1,500 is the student population of the school. HOw many attended the bike rally?
1500 * 2/3 = 1500*2 / 3= 3000 / 3 = 1000 students attended.
21) 18 times at bat:
Kayla 5/6 of the time = 18 * 5/6 = 18*5 / 6 = 90/6 = 15 hits
Tia 8/9 of the time = 18 * 8/9 = 18*8 / 9 = 144/9 = 16 hits
Tia got more hits.
