An equation that is linear:
1. When graphed, linear equations make a [straight] line (hence the name linear).
2. Have x exponents raised to the first power (in other words, if the x-value obtains exponents that are not 1 [Note: having 1 as an exponent is just like not having an exponent given that a number raised to the first power is still that number], it isn't linear) 

Proportional relationships can be modeled in the form y = mx where m equals the slope, or constant rate of change.

tamaranim1 [39]
Let the second number be x.

First number = x - 8

Third number = 3x

Sum of the numbers = 117

x - 8 + x + 3x = 117

5x = 125

x = 25

Thus,

The first number is 17. The second number is 25. The third number is 75.

The answer is 4
so you just have to find the cubed root of 64 not the squared root the cubes root of 64 is 4 , positive for because 4*4*4=64, -4*-4*-4=-64

1 & 1/3 * 5/8 please help me get the answer
My name is Ann [436]
So 1(1/3) turns into 4/3 because you multiply denominator by 1 the whole number then add 1 to that so its 4/3 × 5/8 the numerators multiply to 20 and denominators multiply to 24 so its 20/24 which simplifies to 10/12 then to 5/6
