Simplify -5 1/6 - (-8 1/2)

1 answer:

8 0

$-5\dfrac{1}{6}-\left(-8\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=-5\dfrac{1}{6}+8\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\text{Use commutative property a + b = b + a}\\\\=8\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(-5\dfrac{1}{6}\right)=8\dfrac{1}{2}-5\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\text{We must fin the common denominator}\\\\\text{6 is the multiple of 2}, \text{therefore the common denomintor is 6.}\\\\=8\dfrac{1\cdot3}{2\cdot3}-5\dfrac{1}{6}=8\dfrac{3}{6}-5\dfrac{1}{6}=(8-5)+\left(\dfrac{3}{6}-\dfrac{1}{6}\right)=3\dfrac{2}{6}=3\dfrac{2:2}{6:2}=\boxed{3\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Hey! can you please do these 5 questions correctly? Thanks and i need answers ASAP :)) (will give 20 points and brainliest)

Answer:

6.) 13 > c; open; left

7.) -9 < s; open; right

8.) 16 $\geq$ j; closed; left

9.) -16 $\leq$ z; closed; right

10.) 18 < w; open; right

Explanation:

Open (exclusive) whenever the sign is > and <. Closed (inclusive) whenever the sign is $\geq$ and $\leq$ . Goes to the left if the letter has the less than(#>c, c<#) or the less than and equal to(# $\geq$ c, c $\leq$ #) sign points towards it. Goes to the right if the letter has the greater than(#<c, c>#) or the greater than and equal to(# $\leq$ c, c $\geq$ #) sign points towards it. For the first part of the the questions just move all of the numbers to one side and the variables to the other.

HELP ME OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by picking any two points on the line.

(-1, 4) and (1, -2)

Now, use the slope formula to find the slope.

m = y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

m = -2 - 4 / 1 - (-1)

m = -6 / 1 + 1

m = -6/2

m = -3

So, our slope is -3.

Let's find the y-intercept now using the slope-line equation:

y = mx + b

4 = -3(-1) + b

4 = 3 + b

-3 -3

---------------------

1 = b

Lastly, let's put our findings into the slope-line equation:

y = mx + b

slope is -3 and y-intercept is 1

y = -3x + 1
