This is very detailed as I wish to make some principles about fractions clear.

This question boils down to

A fractions structure is that of:

count

size indicator of what you are counting

→

numerator

denominator

You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider  

3

2

Write as  

3

+

2

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value

Find the equation of the median shown:
qwelly [4]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The median is the line cutting the triangle in this graph. In general, a median connects any of the triangle points to halfway across the side opposite to that point. This median connects R to halfway across the side across from R.

We want to find the equation of  this median. We see that T is at (-2,3) and R is (3,-3). The first thing to do when looking for the equation of the line is to find the slope, or incline. Since we have two points, we can do this very easily. You simply divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values.

DIFFERENCE IN Y-VALUES

3-(-3)

3+3

6

DIFFERENCE IN X-VALUES

-2-3

-5

Now, we divide the two answers, giving us -6/5.

So, we have our slope, which gives us the equation so far y=-6/5x+b. We just need to find the b, which is our y-intercept. Well, to do this, we plug in one of our points and we can solve for b. We will use (3,-3)!

-3=-6/5(3)+b

-3=-3 3/5+b

We add 3 3/5 to both sides to isolate the b.

b=3/5

This means that this median should hit the y-axis at (0,3/5), and it looks like it does. Therefore, the equation of this median is y=-6/5x+3/5.

Now you can find the slope of a median! Have a wonderful day! :D

How can you apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor for 40j - 16 = ?
Ronch [10]
The greatest common factor is 8. So your answer would be: 8(5j - 2) because 8 x 5j= 40j and 8 x 2= 16

The maximum amount you can spend for renting a motor scooter is $50. The rental fee is $12 and the cost per hour is $9.50. Solve
uranmaximum [27]

The maximum number of hours for which you can rent the scooter is: 4 hours

<h3>Cost of renting;</h3>

According to the question;

  • The maximum amount you can spend for renting a motor scooter is $50
  • The rental fee is $12 and the cost per hour is $9.50.

The inequality to determine the maximum number of hours you can rent the scooter is;

  • $12 + $9.50h <= $50

Solving the inequality, we have;

  • $9.50h <= $38

h <= 4hours.
