A number divided by 3 less then itself gives a quotient of 8/5. Find the number

1 answer:

8 0

We Can Let "A Number" Be M.
M Divided By 3 Less Than Itself Gives Quotient Of 8/5.
M/(M-3) = 8/5. Lets Solve.

$\frac{M}{(M - 3)} = \frac{8}{5}$
So, What Number Can Have 3 Subtracted From It To Get Five, But Also Be Equal To Eight?
Eight Of Course!!!
So, We Know That The Number Equals 8.

What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (2, 4) and (4, 10)?

The answer is y = 3x - 2. To find slope, you subtract y2 - y1 and x2 - x1. In this case, y2 - y1 = 10 - 4 and x2 - x1 = 4 - 2. You would result in 6/2, which can be reduced to 3. Your slope is 3, so the first and second answer automatically are eliminated. Next, you could either draw it out on a coordinate plane or just visualize it. The starting point that goes through each line would be -2, which means D, or y = 3x - 2, is the correct answer.

8.05 x 10^8 - 9.16 x 10^6
= 10^6 (805 - 9.16)
= 795.84 x 10^6
= 7.9584 x 10^8
