The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7
We can put it together:
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7 /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84
The number you are looking for is 84.
-9-8(1+4h) = -17. We need to solve for h.
First, use the distributive property for 8(1+4h):
8(1+4h) = 8*1 + 8*4h = 8 + 32h
So -9-8(1+4h) = -17
-9 - (8+32h) = -17
-9 - 8 - 32h = -17
-17 - 32h = - 17
Add 17 on both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
-17 - 32h + 17 = -17 + 17
-32h = 0
divide both sides by -32 to get the variable h alone and its value on the other side:
(-32h)/-32 = 0/-32
h = 0.
So -9-8(1+4h) = -17 for h = 0.
You can recheck your answer (very important):
-9 - 8(1+4h) = -9 -8(1+4*0) = -9 - 8(1+0) = -9-8*1 = -9-8 = -17
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
A line with undefined slope has an equation x=a.
So, for a line that passes through the point (x,y) = (-3,5) ,
has the equation x= - 3.
Depending on how large the figure actually is, if it is specifying that on that specific paper what to use to measure it, use a ruler also for part b a possible dimension could be 4 cm x 8cm
