Convert into like fractions --> 
1/3 = 7/21 4/7 = 12/21
7+12 = 19
19/21 is spent therefore he has 2/21 left

The fraction of the amount Liang has left is \frac{2}{21}

  • Let X = Amount spent on a pen; X = \frac{1}{3}
  • Let Y = Amount spent on books; Y = \frac{4}{7}
  • Let M = Amount of money Liang has got; M =?
  • Let L = Amount of money Liang will have left; L = ?
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

To derive L (amount of money Liang will have left), add X (amount spent on a pen) and Y (amount spent on books) together, then the derived value be subtracted from M (fraction of total amount Liang has got) i.e.: M – (X + Y)

Therefore, L = M – (X + Y)

Deriving (X + Y)

= X + Y

= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{7}

= (1 x 7) + (3 x 4) / 21

= (7) + (12) / 21

= 7 + 12 / 21

= \frac{19}{21}

X + Y = \frac{19}{21}

Since the lowest common denominator of the fraction of X and Y = 21, then the fraction of M = \frac{21}{21}

Thus, M = \frac{21}{21}

Recall, L = M – (X + Y)

Thus,

L = \frac{21}{21} – \frac{19}{21}

L = (1 x 21) – (1 x 19) / 21

L = (21) – (19) /21

L = 21 – 19 /21

L = \frac{2}{21}

Hence, the amount Liang will have left is \frac{2}{21}

What is the axis of symmetry for the function f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)
Levart [38]

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-(x+9)(x-21)\implies \begin{cases} 0=-x-9\implies &x=-9\\ 0=x-21\implies &21=x \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \boxed{-9}\rule[0.35em]{8em}{0.25pt}0\rule[0.35em]{5em}{0.25pt}\stackrel{\downarrow }{6}\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{21}


now, this parabolic graph, has two zeros/solutions/x-intercepts, at -9 and 21.

for a quadratic equation, the vertex will be right in between the x-intercepts, namely in this case between -9 and 21, right in the middle, namely at 6, and is where the axis of symmetry is at, x = 6.

Which rule describes a translation that is 8 units to the right and 2 units up?
Fofino [41]
(x-8, y+2).

When translating figures, a translation to the right subtracts from the x-coordinate (sort of the opposite of how we think of graphs that go to the right).  Translations up would be adding to the y-coordinate.

Hugo is buying DVDs that cost $15 each. He has a coupon for $5 off his total purchase. Write an equation to find the c the total
Allisa [31]

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

15 times 6 is 90. This is how much money he spends on 6 DVDs if they're all $15. 90 subtracted by 5 (remember - he gets $5 off his entire purchase, not just each individual DVD) would be 85!
