8 less than 1/3 a number n is -13

1 answer:

7 0

Let's set up an equation.

so we know the answer is -13.
1/3 of a number (our variable) can be written as 1/3n.
8 less than that would be subtracting 1/3n by 8

so we have -13 = 1/3n - 8.

To solve:
Add 8 to both sides: -5 = 1/3n
Multiply both sides by 3 (to cancel fraction): -15 = n

You can check by plugging -15 into the equation we made.

How can you show that two objects are proportional with a graph?

So this is our table:

-----------------
x-values | a b c d e f |
-----------------
y-values | g h i j k l |
-----------------

You can know that the values in the table are proportional if:

$\frac{a}{g}=\frac{b}{h} =\frac{c}{i}=\frac{d}{j}=\frac{e}{k}=\frac{f}{l}$

Hope that helps :)

Do we go back 2 ppaces or go forward 2 places when making percenta into decimals

xxMikexx [17]

Move the decimal to the left 2 spaces. 90% would .90. 74% would be .74. 134% would be 1.34 Got it? It' always the same no matter the percent. 2 spaces to the left.

Select the correct answer.

Rashid [163]

Answer: D. (4,3)

The x coordinates of A and B are 9 and -1 in that order. Add them up to get 9+(-1) = 9-1 = 8. Then divide by two to end up with 8/2 = 4. The midpoint has an x coordinate of 4.

Repeat for the y coordinates. Add them up: 8+(-2) = 8-2 = 6. Then divide by two: 6/2 = 3. The midpoint has an y coordinate of 3.

Those two coordinates pair up to get (x,y) = (4,3) which is the midpoint of segment AB.
