The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
Answer:
Excuse me, wrong answer did not mean to type that. It would be C.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because C. y - 5 = -2 (x+9) is an inequality. But, because of the slope of -2 passing through the point (-5, 9), it would be x - 9. So, C.
In this item, we let x be the number of pairs of socks and y be the number of blouses that were purchased by Hanna. The total amount that is spent for the socks and blouses are 2.99x and 12.99y, respectively. The equation that would best describe the given scenario is,
2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92
Answer:
1.) -5/4
2.) 2
3.) 7/3
4.) 4
5.) -6
6.) -1
7.) 5/3
8.) -4
9.) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
this is what i got i hope they are all right
slope formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
5/7 +1/3
find the common denominator for both of the fractions
common denominator is 21
mutiply by 3 for 5/7
(5)(3)/(7/(3)= 15/21
mutiply by 7 for 1/3
(1)(7)/(3)(7)= 7/21
15/21+7/21
add the numerators
15+7= 22
denominator stays the same -21
Answer:
22/21 or 1 1/21
