Step One
Find the fraction left.
Starting amount = 7/8 pound
Used amount = 1/7 of a pound.

The common denominator of these two fractions is 8 * 7 = 56

Amount left = amount started with - amount used
Amount left = 7/8 - 1/7
Amount left = \frac{7 *7 }{8 * 7} -  \frac{1 * 8}{7 * 8}
Amount left = \frac{49 }{56} - \frac{ 8}{56}
Amount left = 41 / 56 pounds

Step Two
Convert the Answer to ounces.

Ounces = (41/56) * 16 
Ounces = 11.71 ounces  almost 11 3/4

Answer:

A. y=-\dfrac{8}{7}x-\dfrac{18}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y=mx+b be the equation of the perpendicular line.

Two perpendicular lines have slopes with product equal to -1. The slope of the given line is \frac{7}{8} Hence,

\dfrac{7}{8}\cdot m=-1\\ \\m=-\dfrac{8}{7}

is the slope of needed line.

This line passes through the point (-4,2), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

2=-\dfrac{8}{7}\cdot (-4)+b\\ \\b=2-\dfrac{32}{7}=-\dfrac{18}{7}

Therefore, the equation of the line is

y=-\dfrac{8}{7}x-\dfrac{18}{7}

The last answer: 2 or 0

Explanation:

When you graph this function, it crosses the x-axis once. In other words, that means there is only 1 real zero and 2 imaginary complex zeros. In addition, imaginary solutions always come in pairs, so there can’t be a odd number of them such as 3.

What is the value of y in the equation 4y – 2(1 – y) = –44?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, follow these steps:

4y - 2 (1 - y) = -44

First, distribute the -2 into the parenthesis:

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

The reason the 2y is positive is due to the fact that negative and negative cancel each other out and form a positive.

Now, combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

To get y, you need to isolate it from the constants. In order to do so, do the inverse relationship for the constant -2. To do this, add 2 to -44:

6y = -42

Now, divide six on both sides. You divide because six is currently being multiplied with y. Keep in mind that the 42 is still negative!

y = -7

Hope this helps!

Slove system of equations y=2x-3 y=x^2-2x-8
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

2 solutions:

x=5 and y=7

x=-1 and y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-3

y=x^2-2x-8

y=y   so:

2x-3=x^2-2x-8

simplifying to:

x^2-4x-5=0

factoring to:

(x-5)(x+1)=0

x=5 or x=-1

if x=5 then y=2(5)-3=7

if x=-1 then y=2(-1)-3=-5
