Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using GCF:

The factors of 24 are; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Factors of 28 are; 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28

The highest greatest common factor is 4.

Now, 4 × 6 gives 24

While 4 × 7 gives 28.

Thus, our original equation is now;

4(6 + 7)

Using distributive property, let's add the number in the bracket first to get;

4(13).

Now,we multiply out to get 52.

28 tries. The ratio is 5:7, so once you multiply 5 by 4 to get 20, you do the same to 7 to get 28.

Which graph correctly represents (5/2)x - y < 3?

Setler79 [48]

You can rewrite the inequality as

$y > \cfrac{5}{2}\ x - 3$

Note that

$y = f(x) = \cfrac{5}{2}\ x - 3$

is the equation of the line drawn in the pictures. This means that, for every point on the line, the y coordinate is exactly image of the x coordinate, i.e. $f(x)$

The inequality is satisfied by all points whose y coordinate exceeds the image of the x coordinate. Since the y axis is positively oriented upwards, a greater value for the y coordinate means that the point has to be higher than the line.

Also, since the equality inlves a $>$ and not a $\geq$ sign, the line itself is excluded.
