Answer:Make the denominators the same

Step-by-step explanation:

find the least common denominator

As in find there least common multiple

Then multiply both numerators and denominators to find the common multipl

Example:

2/8 multiples: 8,16,24

5/6 multiples:6,12,18,24

Least common multiple is 24

So 8*3=24

2*3=6

So 2/8=6/24

6*4= 24

5*4=20

So 5/6=20/24

Then you subtract 20/24 by 6/24

Then your done:)

There are 7 Democrats and 6 Republicans on a local city council. A planning committee of 6 for affordable housing needs to be

Brut [27]

Answer:

The probability is $0.383$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected= ${}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}$

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= ${}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}$

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = ${}^{7}{{C}_{6}}$

So, favourable outcomes are ${}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}$

Total possible outcomes = ${}^{13}{{C}_{6}}$

Now, probability= $\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383$

Write an equation of a line in point slope form that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (3, -4).

Nesterboy [21]

1) Point-slope form

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

m= - 3,

point (3,-4), so x1 = 3, y1 = - 4.

(y+4)= -3(x- 3)

2)Point-slope form

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

m= - 3/4,

point (4,5), so x1 = 4, y1 = 5.

(y-5)= - 3/4(x-4)
