start with y= m(x+9)
Use the distributive property:
y= mx+9m
Now you want x to decrease by 6:
so y ' = m(x-6) + 9m
Use distributive property again:
y'= mx - 6m + 9m
y' = (mx+9m) - 6m
y' = y - 6m
So the value of y decreases by 6m.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Time needed if they work together:</u>
- 1 / (1/11 + 1/9) =
- 1/ (20 / 99) =
- 99/20 ≈ 5 hours
First multiply and dstribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
2(3x+2)=6x+4
6x+4=2x-1+x
add like terms
6x+4=3x-1
subtract 3x from both sides
3x+4=-1
subtract 4 from both sides
3x=-5
divide bothe sides by 3
x=-5/3
Answer:
This is a direct variation where the constant of variation is 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for direct variation is y = kx
5x-9y =0
Lets try to get this equation in the above form
Add 9y to each side
5x-9y +9y = 9y
5x = 9y
Divide each side by 9
5/9 x = 9y/9
5/9x = y
This is in the form y = k x where k =5/9
Answer:
From his starting point of 85 3/4, he descended 17 9/20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to know how much farther he went down from his starting point.
103 1/5 - 85 3/4
S
tart off by making the denominators of both the numbers the same.
103 1/5 - 85 3/4
103 4/20 - 85 15/20
Make them into improper fractions
2064/20 - 1715/20 = 349/20
Make 349/20 into a mixed fraction
17 9/20
