Answer:

x = $\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - $\frac{5}{6}$ - 2x - $\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$

Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions

24x - 5 - 12x - 1 = 4

12x - 6 = 4 ( add 6 to both sides )

12x = 10 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = $\frac{10}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{6}$

What is the x intercept of the equation that passes through (1,-6) and is perpendicular to y=1/3x +1

fomenos

$\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x+1\impliedby \textit{slope of this line, so a perpendicular will be}
\\\\\\
\textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{1}{3}\\\\
negative\implies -\cfrac{1}{ 3}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{ 3}{1}\implies -3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~1 &,& -6~)
\end{array}$

$\bf slope = m\implies -3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-6)=-3(x-1)
\\\\\\
y+6=-3x+3\implies 0+6=-3x+3\implies 3=-3x\implies \cfrac{3}{-3}=x
\\\\\\
-1=x\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (~-1~,~0~)$

Prove that if a and b are positive integers whose sum is a prime p, their greatest common divisor is 1.

Tasya [4]

Proof by contadiction.

Let assume there exist such positive integers $a$ and $b$ whose sum is a prime number $p$ , that their greatest common divisor is greater than 1.

$a,b\in\mathbb{Z^+}\\d=\text{gcd}(a,b)>1\\\\a=de\\b=df\\e,f\in\mathbb{Z^+}\\\\a+b=p\\de+df=p\\d(e+f)=p\\$

Since $p$ is a prime number and $d>1$ , then $d=p \wedge e+f=1$ , but we assumed earlier that $e,f\in\mathbb{Z^+}$ , and there are no two positive integers that sum up to 1.
