How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:
- List the factors of A
- List the factors of B
- Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
- Divide A and B each by the GCF
- Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Therefore:
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Answer:
(Change in y)/(change in x) is defined as the average rate of change.
For a linear equation:
y = a*x + b
A is the average rate of change, and is called the "slope" of the linear equation, and this is a constant.
Then the sentence will be:
"The average change between two ordered pairs (x,y) is the ratio (change in x)/(change in y)
In a linear function, this is called the slope, and it is constant"
4x = 5x - 12
First you want to subtract 5x from both sides:
5x will cancel out
4x - 5 = -1
Next you want to divide -1 on both sides:
-1 will cancel out
-12/-1 = 12
Since there are two negatives it turns into a positive.
So your answer is x = 12.

Wow this... this is a lot YOU need help on
You'll first need to calculate the measure of angle R. From the diagram we see that
opp 33
tan R = ------- = ----- = 0.589, so, using the inv. tang. function, R = 0.589 rad.
adj 56
opp 33
Then sin R = --------- = sin 0.589 rad = ------------------------- = 0.508 rad
hyp sqrt(33^2 + 56^2)
or 29.089 degrees
