The answer is D) Yes; because x and y must be integers, and integers are rational.
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2
Final answer
b=2
If it can be assumed that the total number paper and bags is the same for both orders, then:
#bags ordered in the spring=7*(150/3)=350, so the total of both is 150+350=500. A 5:5 ratio means that the wrapping paper and bags were bout in equal quantities. That means 500/2=250 for each.
Do the exponents first. 10 to the -4 is 1/10000 or 0.0001 and 10^ -5 is 0.00001. You end up with (1.7*0.0001)(5*0.00001) which is 0.00017*0.00005 which is 0.0000000085 or 0.085*10^-8
The answer is 4/9.
To find the answer you would need to find the values of x and y. Using the given information you know x/5 is equal to 2/3. Then you would cross multiply and divide in order to fine the value of x, which is 10/3. Doing the same thing to find y, which would be 15/2. Since it’s day the ratio of x and y. You would divide the value of x by y to get your answer of 4/9.
