Is (5,6.5) a solution to y= -1/2x + 9?

1 answer:

3 0

6.5 = - 1/2(5) + 9

6.5 = - 2.5 + 9 which is the same as 6.5 = 9 - 2.5

6.5 = 6.5

Elden [556K]

Let

x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework

y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework

we know that

$x=5\frac{1}{4}\ hours$

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$5\frac{1}{4}\ hours=\frac{5*4+1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}\ hours$

$x=\frac{21}{4}\ hours$ -------> equation A

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$ ------> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

$y=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{21}{4}=\frac{21}{8}\ hours$

convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

$\frac{21}{8}\ hours=2.625=2+0.625=2+\frac{5}{8}=2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

$2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$
