Answer:

13/30

Step-by-step:

First, you find the common denominator, which is 30. For the first fraction, multiply the bottom by five. Since you do that, you have to multiple the top by 5 as well, giving you 25/30. For the second problem, you multiple the top and bottom by six giving you 12/30. 25 minus 12 is 13 so you get 13/30.

Two pipes running together can fill a tank in 20 minutes.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

45, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.

x-y=9

(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n

n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n

here u get:

(1/x+1/y)*20=1

you sub x=9+y into the above equation

1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20

((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)

180+40y=9y+y2

y2-31y-180=0

then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5

-5 is rejected because it is negative

x=36+9=45

therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins

Answer:

+) m∠1 = m∠2 (vertical angles theorem)

+) m∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary (because a//b)

+)m∠3 = m∠4 (alternate interior angles theorem, c//d)

=> ∠1 and ∠4 are supplementary (substitution property of equality)

Kelsey graphed the equation y = 3x + 1 as shown below.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D. Kelsey graphed the slope as the y-intercept and the y-intercept as the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to graph was : y= 3x + 1 where the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 1

However, Kelsey graph line passes through points (-3, 0)and (0, 3).From these points the equation of the line is;

m=Δy/Δx where

m=the slope of the graph

Δy= 3-0 =3

Δx= 0--3 =3

m=3/3 = 1

The equation of the line should be;

m=Δy/Δx

1=y-3/x-0

1x= y-3

3+1x= y

y= 1x + 3 ----------where the slope is 1 and y-intercept is 3

So you can see here that in the original equation, the slope m is 3 and y-intercept is 1 as shown in the first attached graph.

While in the Kelsey's graph, the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 3 as in the second attached graph.

Thus, the correct answer is D : Kelsey graphed the slope,3 as the y-intercept and the y-intercept,1, as the slope.

Answer choice A is incorrect because Kelsey didnot graph the y-intercept, 1 on the x-axis but graphed point (-3,0) on the x-axis.

Answer choice B is incorrect because on Kelsey's equation the y-intercept is 3 and not -3. i.e. y=1x + 3

Answer choice C is incorrect because Kelsey graphed the slope as up 1 right 1 which is okay per the equation , y=1x+3.However, this incorrect because the correct graph has a slope of 3.
