You are trying to figure out 1/6 of her weight. Since her weight is 19 pounds, you would put it over one to create a fraction and times is by 1/6 which would give you 19/6.
Answer:
y=1/5x-31/5 (or y=0.2x-6.2 in decimals)
Step-by-step explanation:
x=5y-8 (original equation)
x+8=5y <u>(Addition Property of Equality)</u>
1/5x+8/5=y <u>(Division Property of Equality, </u><u>slope </u><u>of </u><u><em>original equation </em></u><u>is </u><u>1/5</u><u>)</u>
<u />
y-y1=m(x-x1) <u>(point-slope formula)</u>
y-(-5))=1/5(x-(6)) <u>(plug in the slope that was found earlier and the point given in the question)</u>
y+5=1/5(x-6)
y+5=1/5x-6/5 (Distributive Property of Multiplication) Note: 5 = 25/5
<u>y=1/5x-31/5</u> (Subtraction Property of Equality, and there's your answer)
<u>y=0.2x-6.2</u><em> </em>(This is the same answer, but written with decimals)
Answer:
they are 16 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can call the numbers x and y and we can write:
x - y = 12
x + y = 20
Adding these equations gives us 2x = 32 which means x = 16 and substituting this value into the first equation gives us y = 4.
32,870 is the answer. Hope this helps!
