Answer:
2x - 0.4x ;
8x/5 ;
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of miles = x
Arlene:
Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x
Subtract 20% of the result :
2x - 20% of 2x ;
2x - 0.4x
Raul:
Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5
Multiplies result by 8 ;
8 * (x/5) = 8x /5
To know if expressions are equivalent :
Let x = 10 miles
Using Arlene's expression:
2x - 0.4x
x = 10
2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16
Using Raul's expression :
8x / 5
(8*10) / 5
80/5
= 16
Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent
Answer:
1. y
=
1
/2X
+5
Step-by-step explanation:
2. m=1/2
Answer: Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
First ratio
5 : 15
Simplify (divide both sides by 5)
1 : 3
Second Ratio
3 : 9
Simplify (divide both sides by 3)
1 : 3
No, that is not true. Use the website desmos.com to try it out yourself. Graph equations like y=1x, y=1/2x, and y=1/4x to try. Then, you will see that as the number gets bigger, the line gets steeper (it gets higher..like a hill..rising..)
