Let's put it into perspective.

x/(x+5)

If increase by 3:

(x+3)/(x+8) = 3/4

Cross multiply.

4(x+3)=3(x+8)

4x+12 =3x+24

Solve algebraically.

4x-3x = 24-12

x = 12

Therefore, original fraction is:

12/17

On a spinner, there are twenty equal-size sections numbered from 1 to 20. Which spinner game is fair? Show your work.
Anvisha [2.4K]

The spinner game is an illustration of probability, and the spinner game that is fair is (b) If you spin a number greater than 10, you win.

<h3>How to determine the fair game?</h3>

The number of sections in the spinner is given as:

n = 20

There are 10 numbers greater than 10 i.e. 11 to 2.

So, the probability that a number greater than 10 is spun is:

P = 10/20

P = 0.5

The probability that a number that is not greater than 10 is spun is calculated using the following complement rule

q = 1 - p

This gives

q = 1 - 0.5

Evaluate

q = 0.5

Notice that both probabilities are the equal

Hence, the spinner game that is fair is (b) If you spin a number greater than 10, you win.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form for each line based on the information given.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

y = -1x + 6 or y = -x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's identify what slope-intercept form is.

y = mx + b

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

We know the slope is -1, so m = -1. Plug this into our standard equation.

y = -1x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: (2, 4). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

4 = -1(2) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(2)

4 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 from both sides to isolate b.

6 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -1x + 6

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the point again.

y = -1x + 6

4 = -1(2) + 6

4 = -2 + 6

4 = 4

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!
