This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4
To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.
I'll use 12
The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12
10/12-3/12 = 7/12
So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.
Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda
(93+75+86+x)/4=81
93+75+86+x=324
The sum of the scores is 324. Now solve for x:
254+x=324
x=70
The answer is 70
Answer:
The answer you should get is 9:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
86
Step-by-step explanation:
the rectangle portion is 18*4= 72
1 triangle portion is 1/2bh where the base is 4 and height is 3.5
1/2*14=7
the 2nd triangle as the same proportions, so it is also 7
72+7+7=86
THE ANSWER IS: y = -x+9
y=mx+b
m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
use the points (0,9) and (9,0)
(0-9)/(9-0) = -9/9 = -1
so m=-1
b is the y-intercept which is where x=0
the line crosses the y axis at y=9
so b=9
plugging in m and b into y=mx+b,
you get y=-x+9
