Answer:
B) 36/(y+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the process of elimination.
A cannot work because we are changing the operation. Instead of dividing thirty-six by the sum of four and a number, we are dividing thirty-six by four, then adding the unknown number. This is not the same as the original expression, so we know it is not this.
Next, check C. C doesn't seem right either. Remember that, unlike multiplication and addition, you cannot flip the order in which the operation is being done and still get the same answer. C says four plus a number divided by thirty-six, which is entirely different from our original expression. So the answer is not C.
And finally, check D. D doesn't work either. With D, we are dividing thirty-six by a number, then adding it to thirty-six divided by four. This is not the same as our original expression, so D isn't it.
That leaves us with B. Does it work? Yes, because changing the y and the four still will give the same thing. And yes, because 36 is being divided by the sum of that number and four. So it is our answer.
Add the like terms. So I'll add the variables. 8x+6x is 14x. Now add whole numbers. 30+10 is 40. Our new expression we'll be 14x+40=180. Subtract 40 from 180. 180-40=140. Now we have the expression 14x=140. 140 divided by 14 is 10. So x is 10.
Of course not.
If the line rises higher as it goes from left to right,
then its slope ( 'm' ) is positive.
If it sinks lower as it goes from left to right,
then its slope ( 'm' ) is negative.
