Answer:
-2/5, -1/2, -1, -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m
=
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given -
8
x
−
2
y
=
14
It is in the form
a
x
+
b
y
=
c
If a linear equation is in this form, then -
It slope is
−
a
b
In our case, we shall use this formula
m
=
−

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:
7/8 - 3/8
Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.
7 - 3 = 4
So answer is:
4/8
Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
rc = planted rows of carrots
rt = planted rows of tomatoes
h = number of hours
rc = 4h + 1 (starting with 1 already finished row there will be 4 additional rows every hour)
rt = 3h + 8 (staying with 8 already finished rows there will be 3 additional rows every hour).
when will they have planned the same number of rows ?
when rc = rt, of course.
so,
4h + 1 = 3h + 8
h = 7
4×7 + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29 rows
after 7 hours Quincy and his mom will each have planted 29 rows of vegetables.
