Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles

Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.

This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.

C = 1/3x

L = 1/4x

We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy

C = L + 7

Since C = 1/3x  and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:

1/3x = 1/4x + 7

Subtract 1/4x from both sides

1/3x - 1/4x = 7

1/12x = 7

Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.

x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)

Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.

A = x - C - L

A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)

A = 35

Finding Inverses<br> Find an equation for the inve<br> 3.<br> y = 3x + 2
Kipish [7]
First we swap our x and y variable, so we get

x = 3y + 2

Then, we solve for y
We can first subtract 2 on both sides

x - 2 = 3y

Then we can divide by 3 on both sides to get

x/3 - 2/3 = y

So our final equation is

y = x/3 - 2/3

Answer:

2.625

Step-by-step explanation:

258=2.625

Solution by Separating the Parts

258=2+58

We know that

58

is the same as

5÷8

Therefore:

258=2+(5÷8)

Then using

Long Division for 5 divided by 8

we have

=2+0.625=2.625

Rounded to a Max of 3 Decimal Places.

Solution by Converting to Improper Fraction

258=2+58

=21+58

=(21×88)+58

=168+58=218

We know that

218

is the same as

21÷8

Answer:

Equation in point slope form is: y+3=4(x+6)

Solving for y we get: \mathbf{y=4x+21}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Slope = 4

Point (-6,-3)

Point Slope form:

We need to write equation for point-slope form

The general equation of point slope form is: y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is slope and y_1\: and\: x_1\\ are points on the line

Now putting values of slope m= 4, x_1=-6, y_1=-3 and finding equation

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-(-3)=4(x-(-6)\\y+3=4(x+6)

So, equation in point slope form is: y+3=4(x+6)

Solve for y

y+3=4(x+6)\\y+3=4x+24\\y=4x+24-3\\y=4x+21

So, solving for y we get: \mathbf{y=4x+21}
