Answer:
Whitney made 6 baskets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of baskets made by Whitney be x.
The 15 baskets made by
Chiyann is equal to 2 times plus 3 what Whitney made
Mathematically what she made would be 2x + 3
To get x, we equate this equation to 15
2x + 3 = 15
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6 baskets
What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!
To calculate the slope you need to do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So you would get:
(17-12)/(4-9)
5/-5
=-1
Hope this helps.
No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.
Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

If you would like to increase £84 by 3%, you can calculate this using the following steps:
3% * £84 = 3/100 * 84 = £2.52
£84 + £2.52 = £86.52
The correct result is £86.52.
