It is important because if u don't find the simplest form then u won't be able to multiply and get the answer correctly

This is important because if you were to answer in complex fractions instead of its simplest form, you would have a tough time multiplying complex fractions together. You would get a HUGE denominator or numerator, which makes things difficult. It is important to write a fraction in its simplest form because of exactly that; making things simple. Would you rather multiply 64/132*64/132 or 1/2*1/2?

Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|. 13 units down

olga55 [171]

The idea for transitions for an equation like this is
$y = m|x - h| + k$
where m = slope
h = how much left or right (note the negative)
k = how much up or down

moving 13 down would mean
k = -13

so
$y = |x| - 13$
D. would be your answer

He rain caused the river to ride a total of 6 2/3 inches. The river was rising at an average of 2/3 of an inch each hour. How ma

Kobotan [32]

To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

$\sf 6\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{2}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{60}{6}$

Simplify by dividing:

$\boxed{\sf 10}$

So it rained for 10 hours.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST! IT'S ABOUT SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS. TYSM ;)

Hatshy [7]

Plug in your Y value into the bottom equation like so:

4x + 3x-3=11, combine like terms

7x-3=11 solve for x

7x= 14

x=2

Plug in x value into first equation

y = 3(2) -3

y= 6-3, y = 3

answer: (2,3)
