A fractions structure is that of:
count
size indicator of what you are counting
→
numerator
denominator
You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
3
2
3
Write as
3
+
2

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value

But the size indicators are not the same. I chose to make them become 12

Now we may subtract the counts

Step-by-step explanation:
It means the speed (velocity) was constant - the object traveled the same distance per time period throughout the graph.
Answer:
The amount of money in Enid bank account can be written as a linear equation.
Ye = Xe + $4*m
where Ye is the money that Enid has in her account, m is the number of months that have passed since she opened it, and Xe is the initial deposit.
For Jim, the equation is similar:
Yj = Xj + $3*m
where Yj and Xj are similar as above.
Between May 15 and December 31 of the same year, we have 7 months (where i am counting December because the deposit is made in the first day of the month).
Then we have that:
Ye = $72 = Xe + $4*7 = Xe + $28
Xe = $72 - $28 = $44
So in May 15, Enid deposited $44.
For Jim we have:
Yj = $72 = Xj + $3*7 = Xj + $21
Xj = $72 - $21 = $51
So in May 15, Jim deposited $51.

Answer: y = (-3/2)x+3</h3>
In decimal form, this is y = -1.5x+3
=========================================
Explanation:
Start at (0,3). Move three units down and two units to the right to get to (2,0)
slope = rise/run
slope = -3/2
rise = -3 = go 3 units down
run = 2 = go 2 units to the right
--------------------------
We could use the two points (0,3) and (2,0) in the slope formula below
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-3)/(2-0)
m = -3/2
So this is another way to see the slope is -3/2
--------------------------
The y intercept is where the graph crosses the vertical y axis. In this case, it's at 3. So b = 3
Using m = -3/2 and b = 3, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-3/2)x+3 which is equivalent to y = -1.5x+3
