We can follow the following steps to make an equation and solve it.

Step 1:

five less than 13 means we have to subtract 5 from 13

so it becomes 13-5

Step 2:

A number y is five less than thirteen.

Now in algebraic expressions, "is" stands for "="

So we have:

$y=13-5$

Step 3:

Solving the equation to find y.

$y=13-5$

Subtracting 5 from 13, we get :

y=8

Answer:

For the given equation the solution is y=8.

Which statement is true?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

$y=log_{1} x$ is not a logarithmic function because the base is equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A logarithmic function is of the form: $y=log_{b}x$

For a logarithmic function to exist, we must fulfill certain conditions. The conditions are

i. The base, $b$ , is greater than 0. ${b>0)$

ii. The base, $b$ , is not equal to 1. $(b\ne 1)$

iii. $x$ must be greater than 0. $(x>0)$

Now, if we observe all the choices given, we conclude that the third choice is correct as the base there is 1. If base is equal to 1, then it violates the definition of logarithmic functions. So, the correct choice is:

$y=log_{1} x$ is not a logarithmic function because the base is equal to 1.

3x-2y=-1. <br> Y=-x+3. <br> Is (1,2) a solution do the system?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out if (1,2) is a solution to the system, we can plug the values in and see if it is true.

3x-2y=-1

3(1)-2(2)=-1

3-4=-1

-1=-1

It is true for this equation. Now let's check the next one.

y=-x+3

2=-(1)+3

2=2

Since both equations are true when we plug the values in, (1,2) is a solution to the system.

Ricky has 3/4 of a bag of Skittles. He wants to split the rest between between his 5 friends. What fraction of the bag will each

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

3/20, with the assumptions below.

Explanation:

The question seems incomplete.

In order to show you the procedure, I make some assumptions.

Assuming that Ricky wants to split the full content of the 3/4 of a bag between his 5 friends, to find what fraction of the bag will each friend receive you must divide 3/4 by 5.

The operation is:

$\dfrac{3}{4}\div 5$

Convert the whole number 5 into fraction using 1 as denominator:

$\dfrac{3}{4}\div \dfrac{5}{1}$

Transform the division into multiplication changing the divisor into its reciprocal:

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{5}$

Multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator:

$\dfrac{3\times 1}{4\times 5}=\dfrac{3}{20}\leftarrow answer$

John's bank notified him that he had a negative checking account balance of -$125.70. If John makes two deposits of $89.32 each,

NeX [460]

The answer is 52.94 because since it said he made to deposits of 89.32 you and that together and your result is 173.64 and then you subtract that from -125.70 and you get 52.94
