Answer:
20/24
Step-by-step explanation:
let the variable be x and x-4
5/6 = x-4/x
cross multiply
5x = 6x - 24
24= x
thus, x is 24 and x-4 is 20
<u>20/24</u>
Answer:
The question has a mistake
Step-by-step explanation:
11d+7c= 172.5
10d+7c= 155.8
By subtraction;
1d+ 0c = 16.7
1d = 16.7
11×16.7+7c=172.5
7c = 172.5-11*16.7
You will get a negative answer yet the cost cannot be negative.
4c + 5h = 650 and
5c + 6h = 800 where c are chefs, h are helpers
Start by finding an expression for c
4c + 5h = 650
4c = 650 -5h
c = (650- 5h)/4
Then substitute that into the second equation and solve for a number value for h
5 (650-5h)/4 + 6h = 800
(3250-25h)/4 + 6h = 800
Multiply both sides by 4
3250-25h + 24h = 3200
-h = -50
h = 50
Take that 50 and substitute it into the expression we have for c to get a number value for c
C= 650-5(50)/4
C = 650-250/4
C = 400/4
C= 100
Check your first equations, substituting $50 for the helpers and $100 for the chefs.
4 (100) + 5(50) =
400 + 250 = 650
5(100) + 6(50) =
500 + 300 = 800
If you are given 2 points, it's easy to find the slope.
(8, -6)
(3, -2)
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
slope = (-2 + 6) / (3 - 8)
slope = (4) / (-5)
m = 4/-5 or -5/4 or
