Answer:

2.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other = 3x/8.

Also x - 3x / 8 = 4.2

x - 0.375 x = 4.2

0.625x = 4.2

x = 4.2 / 0.625

x = 6.72.

So the lesser number is 6.72 * 0.375 = 2.52.

Express in Slope-Intercept Form
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

y = (3/4)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where (x, y) is a point on the linear graph, m is the slope (rise/run), and b is the y-intercept (the y-value at which the graph passes through the y-axis).

Looking at the graph, we can see that the point at which the line crosses the y-axis is (0, 2) which makes it the y-intercept. Thus, the b in the slope-intercept form is 2.

Next, we are looking for the slope of the line. To do this, we can calculate the rise/run of the line by choosing to points on it. Since we already have the point (0, 2), we just need one more.

For example, the point (-4, -1) can be used. The slope can be found by ((y-y)/(x-x)) in which the first y and x values correspond with the first point and that of the second correspond with the second set. So in this case, m = (2-(-1))/(0-(-4)) = 3/4

Plugging in the calculated m and b value in the slope intercept equation, we get y = (3/4)x + 2

Aleks [24]
Create an expression. Solve for x

22+66x=66+33x
Subtract 33x from both sides
22+33x=66
Subtract 22 from both sides
33x=44
Divide both sides by 33
x=44/33=4/3 or 1.3 hours
