<h3>Answer:   5/12</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Multiply top and bottom of 5/8 by 3 to get 15/24

This means 5/8-5/24 is the same as 15/24-5/24

The denominators are the same, so we can subtract the numerators to have them placed over the common denominator

15/24 - 5/24 = (15-5)/24 = 10/24

Then we reduce by dividing each part of the fraction by the GCF 2

10/2 = 5

24/2 = 12

Meaning that 10/24 = 5/12

Note how multiplying top and bottom of 5/12 by 2 leads to 10/24 again.

So overall,

5/8 - 5/24 = 5/12

deff fn [24]

Answer:

4 = 16,000

8 = 32,000

10 = 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 4 = 16 then add the zeros and then you have 16,000. Same thing with 8. 4 x 8 = 32 then add the zeros. Also goes for 10. 4 x 10 = 40 then add the zeros.

Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? choose 1 options.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.  The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross.  If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution.  Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b).  One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out).  The slope is -2.  So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it.  The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept.  Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution.  So if your equation is:

 

y = -2x + 1

 

Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution.  Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
