Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first consider the equation at hand. We are given that this equation is as follows, five less than three times a number equals four more than eight times the numbers. Convert this into a numerical format;

3x - 5 = 4 + 8x

where x = " the number "

3x - 5 = 4 + 8x,\\- 5 = 4 + 5x,\\- 9 = 5x,\\\\x = - 9 / 5 \\\\Solution - Option A

If you wish, take a look at this verbal explanation. To solve the equation 3x - 5 = 4 + 8x, one would first subtract 3x on either side of the equation, resulting in the simplified equation - 5 = 4 + 5x. Subtracting - 4 from either side, - 5 - 4 = - 9, and so we receive - 9 = 5x. Dividing 5 on either side, x = - 9 / 5, <em>Option A</em>.

What is the slope of the line that contains these points?<br> (-1,10) (0,18) (1,26) (2,34)
-BARSIC- [3]

The slope of the line that contains these points (-1 , 10) , (0 , 18) , (1 , 26) ,

(2 , 34) is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the slope of a line from any two points lie on it

  • The formula of the slope is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
  • (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) are two points lie on it

∵ A line contains these points (-1 , 10) , (0 , 18) , (1 , 26) , (2 , 34)

- To find the slope of the line chose any to points

∵ Points (0 , 18) and (1 , 26) lie on the line

∴ x_{1} = 0 and x_{2} = 1

∴ y_{1} = 18 and y_{2} = 26

- Substitute these values in the formula of the slope above

∵ m=\frac{26-18}{1-0}

∴ m=\frac{8}{1}

∴ m = 8

The slope of the line that contains these points (-1 , 10) , (0 , 18) , (1 , 26) , (2 , 34) is 8

Answer:

6/5÷31/10=12/31

Step-by-step explanation:

6/5÷31/10=?Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

6/5×10/31=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

6×10 5×31=60/155

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 60 and 155 using

GCF(60,155) = 5

60÷51   55÷5=12/31

Therefore:

65÷3110=12/31

What do I need to do and what are the steps
Viktor [21]
So allison spent 3/5 meaning she saved 2/5 because 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5

change the 2/5 into decimals by 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

multiply $55 with 0.4
55 x 0.4 = 22

so she ends up saving $22
