I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}

Can you tell de answer?
kodGreya [7K]
Yes, it’s D because you would have want to compare both fractions by making them have the same denominator. Since 60 is the least common denominator for 10 and 12 (the denominators), you would convert the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 5/10 by 6 to get 60. 5/10 would turn into 30/60. Then you would multiply 6/12 both by 5, and then it would turn into 30/60. Now that you have equal fractions, you can guess that they are the same. Therefore, 30/60=30/60! An easier way of doing it would be just simplifying them into 1/2 and comparing them + seeing that they are both 1/2. Hope this helps!

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -4 and goes through (-2,7).
Anni [7]

Answer:

y = -4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is given as:

y = mx + b

Where

m is the slope

and

b is the y-intercept (y-axis cutting point)

Since we know slope is -4, we can write:

y= mx + b

y = -4x+ b

Given the point (-2,7) , we can say:

x = -2

and

y = 7

Plugging these 2 values, we can solve for b:

y = -4x + b

7 = -4(-2) + b

7 = 8 + b

b = 7 - 8

b = -1

Now, we have the equation:

y = -4x - 1
