You can estimate 3.9 times 5.3 to 4 times 5 which is 20
so if the answer is around 20, you know that you will have exactly 2 digits before the decimal place
You should find the slope using (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = m
m = (18 - 0) / (10 - (-1))
m= 18 / 11
Therefore the slope is 18/11
X would equal -3. 5x-3 would equal -15, and 2 negatives would equal a positive. So, -15+3 would equal -12.
Answer:
Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify what you know:
1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.
2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.
We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.
23 = x + (x + 7)
16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)
x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)
So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.
8 + 7 = ?
? = 15
Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.
