In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
It’s the first one
3(6)-1/2(6)+1
Each time x increases by 2 (eg: from x = -3 to x = -1), the value of y increases by 7 (eg: y = 9.5 to y = 16.5)
Change in y = 7
change in x = 2
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = 7/2 = 3.5
This all means that we have a linear equation
Answer: 36y

Answer:
5?
Step-by-step explanation:
2x › 5 (buy at least 4)
so you can just start plugging numbers in.
I used 5, 5 times 2 is 10 which is 5 more that 5, which does met the quota.
