Answer:

Is not correct. The product not always will be smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction could increase a number if you multiply it.  

If the numerator is higher to the  denominator,  it will increase it.  

If the numerator is smaller to the  denominator,  it will decrease it.

<u>For example,</u>

10 x 4/3

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

10×4/1×3=40/3= 13,33

13,33 is higher than 10.

5 x 10/3

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

5×10/1×3=50/3

16,66 is higher than 5.

If MB = 6x-9, and AM = 27, find x.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the midpoint this means that we can set AM and BM equal to eachother, once this is done we can solve for x

9x-6=6x+27 (set equal to eachother)

9x=6x+33 (add 6)

3x=33 (subtract 6x)

x=11 (divide by 3)
