How can you know if this equation is true?

Notice how 1/2 and 3/8 are positive numbers. We add two positive numbers meaning that the result should be larger. However 2/5 = 0.4 is not larger than 1/2 = 0.5

So something went wrong with the adding. It turns out that the error is when the person added the numbers in the denominators (2 and 8 to get 10). This is not allowed. The denominators must be the same and stay the same in order for the fractions to be added.

For example: 1/7 + 2/7 = (1+2)/7 = 3/7
The 7s in the denominator do not change

Therefore the answer is choice B) Not true because 2/5 < 1/2

Answer:

19 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

So then you can make the equation 82 + 41 + 3x = 180

By solving for x, you get the answer:

123 + 3x = 180

3x = 57

x = 19 degrees

Find the average rate of change between n=1 and n=3
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

there is not enough information to solve

Step-by-step explanation:

You need two ordered pairs to calculate the average rate of change.

Let's say the value of the function at n = 1 is a, and the value of the function at n = 3 is b, then the average rate of change from n = 1 to n = 3 is

(b - a)/(3 - 1) = (b - a)/2
