Step 1. Simplify \frac{1}{5} (x+5) to \frac{x+5}{5}

\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 2. Simplify \frac{x+5}{5} to 1+ \frac{x}{5}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 3. Simplify \frac{1}{4} (x-3) to \frac{x-3}{4}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}

Step 5. Multiply both sides by 20 (the LCM of 5,4)

4x=5(x-3)

Step 6. Expand

4x=5x-15

Step 7. Subtract 5x from both sides

4x-5x=-15

Step 8. Simplify 4x-5x to -x

-x=-15

Step 9. Multiply both sides by -1

x=15

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

1) Yes, the relationship in the table is proportional. If, when you've been walking for 10 minutes, you are 1.5 miles away from home, and when you've been walking for 20 minutes, you are 1 mile away from home, and when you've been talking 30 minutes, you are 0.5 miles away from home, then we can see that there is a proportion that happens here. For every 10 minutes you walk, you get 0.5 miles closer to your home.

2) We know that you've been walking 10 minutes already at the start of this problem, and we know that you walk at a steady pace of 0.5 miles every 10 minutes, so we just need to add 0.5 miles to our starting point to get the distance from the school to home, which makes it 2 miles away.

3) An equation representing the distance between the distance from school and time walking could be something like this:

t = 20d

Where t is the amount of time it takes to get home (in this case, t = 40 minutes) and d is the distance you can walk in 10 minutes (in this case, 0.5 miles)

The equation is lame, but that's the best I could do :\

Answer:

Choice D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the set of all y-coordinates of the points in the graph.

The graph is a wavy function that has a maximum y-coordinate of 1 and a minimum y-coordinate of -1. The y-coordinates can also be all numbers between -1 and 1. Choice A. is only the two numbers -1 and 1. That is not correct since the range comprises the numbers -1, 1, and all numbers in between -1 and 1.

Answer: Choice D.

Which of these expressions CANNOT be simplified by combining like terms?
densk [106]
5ab^{3} +7-3a^{2} b ^{2} +a^{3}b+10 can be simplified to by adding the 7 and 10 to get a^{3}b-3a^{2} b ^{2}+ 5ab^{3} + 17.

5ab^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}+a^{3}b -10 cannot be simplified any more by combining like terms.

By distributing the 2b into the parentheses, you can simplify the expression:
5ab^{3}+2b(3ab^{2})+a^{3}b-10\\
5ab^{3}+6ab^{3}+a^{3}b-10\\
11ab^{3}+a^{3}b-10

Here you can just add:
5a^{3}b^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}+a^{3}b^{3}-10ab\\
6a^{3}b^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}-10ab

Thus, the only expression that cannot simplify any more using adding like terms is the second, 5ab^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}+a^{3}b -10.
