Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2

2 would be the correct answer:)
The length of segment BC can be determined using the distance formula, wherein, d = sqrt[(X_2 - X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2]. The variable d represent the distance between the two points while X_1, Y_1 and X_2, Y_2 represent points 1 and 2, respectively. Plugging in the coordinates of the points B(-3,-2) and C(0,2) into the equation, we get the length of segment BC equal to 5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(3m-1)(6-a)-(m+3)(6-a)
=3m(6-a)-1(6-a)-m(6-a)+3(6-a)
=18m-3ma-6+a-6m+ma+18-3a
=12m-2ma+12-2a
=2(6m-ma+6-a)
