Consider the following formula

1 answer:

3 0

Hello
This question requires us to change the subject of a formula. This can be achieved by following the order of operations in reverse. First, isolate the terms with our variable of interest, x:
ax - bx = z - y
Then, we take x out as it is being multiplied to both a and b:
x(a - b) = z - y
Dividing (a - b) on both sides, we get:
x = (z - y) / (a - b)
Thus, the answer is A

Irfan exited his apartment building

Fittoniya [83]

Irfan must walk a distance of <u>25</u> blocks <u>east</u> to return to his apartment building.

<h3>What is a compass?</h3>

A compass can be defined as a scientific instrument that contains a magnetized pointer, which is used to show and indicate the following four (4) main cardinal directions:

North (N)

South (S)

West (W)

East (E)

<h3>What is distance?</h3>

Distance can be defined as the amount of ground covered (traveled) by a physical object over a specific period of time and speed, regardless of its direction, starting point or ending point.

Next, we would calculate the total distance covered (traveled) by Irfan as follows:

Total distance = 20 + 5

Total distance = 25 blocks.

Since Irfan walked a total distance of 25 blocks west, he would have to walk the same distance in the opposite direction (east) to return to his apartment building.

Amelie is making a recipe that uses 1 3/4 cups flour. She is making 2 1/2 times the original recipe.

elixir [45]

Answer:

She would need $4\frac{3}{8}$ flour to make $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make 1 recipe Amelia uses = $1 \frac{3}{4}\ cups$ of flour.

So, to make $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the recipe she would need = $1 \frac{3}{4}\times 2\frac{1}{2}$ .

We evaluate the above mixed numbers by converting them to fraction(by multiplying denominator with whole number and adding to numerator and write as fraction of same denominator.).

$=\frac{7}{4}\times \frac{5}{2}$

$=\frac{35}{8}$

Then converting back to mixed number (by dividing the numerator by denominator and writing the quotient as the whole number and the remainder as fraction with same denominator.

$\frac{35}{8}=4\frac{3}{8}$

So, she would need $4\frac{3}{8}$ flour to make $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the recipe.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points: (-2,8) and (4,6)?

garri49 [273]

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

Let's find the slope :

taking :

$y_2 = 6$

$y_1 = 8$

$x_2 = 4$

$x_1 = - 2$

now, we know the formula to find the slope, that is :

$\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1 }$

$\dfrac{6 - 8}{4 - ( - 2)}$

$\dfrac{ - 2}{ 6}$

$- \dfrac{ 1}{3}$

Help with #1 so I can get the gist of it please?

Virty [35]

Answer:

so you graph at (0,2), and go up one, over two for every other point you graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

rise over run.

basically, the m is the slope, and b is the y intercept (where it intersects the y axis).

so when looking at how to graph the line based on 1/2 or any other number, I use rise/run, which is basically telling us tha we need to go up one and over 2 (1/2)

if that makes any sense, let me know if you have any further questions. you got this, youre doing your best!!

slope is the start of your endless pain.

(1/8)^5*(1/8)^3 simplify this expression

matrenka [14]

(x^m) times (x^n)=x^(m+n)
(1/8)^5 times (1/8)^3=(1/8)^(5+3)=(1/8)^8=1/(8^8)
