If I understand this correctly, it's requiring you to add the fractions.

Here is a quick way to find your answer:

1. Find a common denominator - 6.

2. Find out what you need to multiply your denominators to get to that number. - multiply 2/3 by 2, and 1/2 by 3. You'll get 2 and 4/6, and 2 and 3/6.

3. Add new fractions together. - 4/6 plus 3/6 is 7/6. 6 can go into 7 one time, so you'll have 1 and 1/6.

4. Add all numbers together. 2 plus 2 plus 1 and 1/6 equals 5 and 1/6.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

The results are statistically significant because planting hardwood trees have a higher profit per acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above,

It shows that hardwood trees had a 46% higher Profit per acre than softwood trees.

Meaning that for every $100 made on softwood trees, $146 profit would be made on hardwood trees i(including both primary and secondary expenses; making the hardwood trees more profitable.

The information given is enough to reach a conclusion that planting hardwood trees have a higher profit per acre than softwood trees.

Write a expression the product of eght and seven less than a number

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that you are multiplying 8 and something together. So to start with, it looks like this.

8*something.

Now you have to get 7 less a number which is 7 - x

So something is 7 - x

8(7 - x) is your answer.

1. What is an equation for the line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept 9?

Monica [59]

Question 1:

The generic equation of the line is given by:
$y = mx + b
$
Where,
m: slope of the line
b: cutting point with the y axis
Substituting values we have:
$y = \frac{2}3}x + 9
$
Answer:
an equation for the line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept is:
$y = \frac{2}3}x + 9$

Question 2:

The standard equation of the line is given by:
$y-yo = m (x-xo)
$
Where,
m: slope of the line
(xo, yo): ordered pair that belongs to the line
The slope of the line is:
$m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
Substituting values:
$m = \frac{1-(-3)}{3-1}$
$m = \frac{1+3}{3-1}$
$m = \frac{4}{2}$
$m = 2
$
We choose an ordered pair:
$(xo, yo) = (3, 1)
$
Substituting values:
$y-1 = 2 (x-3)
$
Rewriting:
$y = 2x - 6 + 1

y = 2x - 5$
Answer:
An equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3,1) is:
$y = 2x - 5
$

Question 3:

For this case, since the variation is direct, then we have an equation of the form:
$y = kx
$ Where,
k: constant of variation.
We then have the following equation:
$-4y = 8x
$ Rewriting we have:
$y = \frac{8}{-4}x
$
$y = -2x
$ Therefore, the constate of variation is given by:
$k = -2
$
Answer:
the constant of variation is:
$k = -2$

Question 4:

For this case, since the variation is direct, then we have an equation of the form:
$y = kx
$ Where,
k: constant of variation.
We must find the constant k, for this we use the following data:
y = 24 when x = 8
Substituting values:
$24 = k8
$ Clearing k we have:
$k = \frac{24}{8} 
$
$k = 3
$
Therefore, the equation is:
$y = 3x
$ Thus, substituting x = 10 we have that the value of y is given by:
$y = 3 (10)

y = 30$ Answer:
the value of y when x = 10 is:
$y = 30$
