A bag contains blue marbles and red marbles, 58 in total. The number of blue marbles is 4 more than 5 times the number of red ma
tatiyna

Answer:

49 blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given;

  • Total number of marbles = 58
  • Blue marbles are 4 more than 5 times the red marbles

We need to determine the number of blue marbles;

Assuming the number of red marbles is x

Then, blue marbles will be 5x + 4

Therefore;

x + 5x + 4 = 58

6x + 4 = 58

6x = 54

  x = 9

5x + 4 = 5(9) + 4 = 49

Therefore, the red marbles are 9 while the blue marbles are 49

Hence there are 49 blue marbles

4 1/2 ÷ 1 1/4 = a b/c
Alex17521 [72]

Here is the equation:

4 \frac{1}{2} \div 1 \frac{1}{4} = a \frac{b}{c}

When you're going to be dividing fractions, you have to keep, change, and flip. Also, make sure you make the fractions improper when it's a mixed number.

4 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}

1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}

Now keep, change, flip

Keep\ \frac{9}{2} \\ Change \div to\ \times \\ Flip\ \frac{5}{4} = \frac{4}{5}

Your new equation is:

\frac{9}{2} \times \frac{4}{5}

Multiply:

\frac{9}{2} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{36}{10} = 3 \frac{6}{10}  \rightarrow 3 \frac{3}{5}

Your answer is:

3 \frac{3}{5} \\ a = 3 \\ b = 3 \\ c = 5

Find the equation, in standard form, of the line passing through the points (3,-4) and (5,1)
Musya8 [376]
(3,-4)(5,1)
slope = (1 - (-4) / (5 - 3) = (1 + 4) / 2 = 5/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/2
use either of ur points (5,1)...x = 5 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 5/2(5) + b
1 = 25/2 + b
1 - 25/2 = b
2/2 - 25/2 = b
-23/2 = b

so ur equation is y = 5/2x - 23/2...but we need it in standard form

y = 5/2x - 23/2...subtract 5/2x from both sides
-5/2x + y = -23/2....multiply everything by -2
5x - 2y = 23 <== standard form
