when you have 2 negative numbers you actually add the 2nd number to the first one

example:

-4 - -2 = becomes -4 + 2 = -2

Answer this in two minutes

gregori [183]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = 1

Point on line: (8, 5)

Plug these into the formula y = mx + b, where:

m = slope

x = x coordinate of point

y = y coordinate of point

5 = 1(8) + b

5 = 8 + b

Subtract both sides by 8:

5 - 8 = 8 -8 + b

-3 = b

Rewrite the equation:

y = x - 3.

Find the common fraction equivalent to 0.12

jonny [76]

The answer is: " $\frac{4}{33}$ "  .
______________________________
Given: 0.1212121212..... repeating ; write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given: "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;

→ that is to say; "0.12 ... ; {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ;
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as: "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________

Note: "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely; = "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:

Let us say that we have:

"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;

In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ; the "9" decimal repeats infinitely;
_____________________________________________________
Then "10x" ; (that is: "10" multlipled by "x"; or "10*x" or "10x" ); is equal to:

"10" * (0.999999.....) = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);

in other words: 10x = 9.99999999....

Divide each side by "10" ;

to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;

But if you have: "10x = 10" ; divide each side of the equation by "10" ;
you get: "x = 1" .
____________________
Also, if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely);

then: 10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
10x = 9.999999999999999......
−   x = 0.999999999999999.......
_____________________________________
9x = 9.00000000000000000000.....

→ 9x = 9 ;

Divide each side of the equation; to get;

9x /9 = 9/ 9 ; to get: x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ; so
x= 0.99999.... = 1 ;
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ;
that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ; since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
So; 0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);

= 12/99 ; which can be simplified;

Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
" 12/99 " = "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
_________________________________________
The answer is: $\frac{4}{33}$   .

Which answer is equivalent to 4 1/3*4 1/6?<br> a. 16<br> b .6√16<br> c. 2<br> d. 3√4

Talja [164]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$4^\frac{1}{3}\cdot4^\frac{1}{6}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=4^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^{\frac{1\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^{\frac{2}{6}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^\frac{2+1}{6}=4^\frac{3}{6}=4^\frac{3:3}{6:3}=4^{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\text{use}\ a^\frac{m}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}\\\\=\sqrt[2]{4^1}=\sqrt4=2$

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

y=2 and x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2y=7y-14+4

2y-7y=-14+4

-5y=-10/-5

y=2

4x=6-4+2x

4x-2x=6-4

2x=2/2

x=1
