You can use zero as a starting point and then plot based on the direction of your number, so say you have a -1. You would plot that -1 to the left of 0 and any other negative numbers you have. Regarding positive numbers, they would all go to the right of zero so if you had to plot +1 you would plot that to the right of zero. I attached a photo to help you :)

Solve both by substitution method (algebra 2) and show work please -2x-7y=22 -7x-5y=-1

Alex17521 [72]

$\bf \begin{cases}
-2x-7y=22\\
-7x-5y=-1
\end{cases}\qquad \textit{let's solve the \underline{second one} for "x"}
\\\\\\
-7x-5y=-1\implies -7x=5y-1\implies x=\cfrac{5y-1}{-7}
\\\\\\
\boxed{x=\cfrac{1-5y}{7}}\impliedby \textit{now, let's substitute it in the \underline{first one}}
\\\\\\$

$\bf -2\left( \frac{1-5y}{7} \right)-7y=22\implies \cfrac{10y-2}{7}-7y=22
\\\\\\
\textit{now, let's multiply both sides by 7, to toss the denominator}
\\\\\\
7\left( \cfrac{10y-2}{7}-7y \right)=7(22)\implies 10y-2-49y=154
\\\\\\
-39y=156\implies y=\cfrac{154}{-39}\implies \boxed{y=-4}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, let's use that in the \underline{first one}}
\\\\\\
-2x-7(-4)=22\implies -2x+28=22\implies 6=2x\implies \cfrac{6}{2}=x
\\\\\\
\boxed{3=x}$

Is this proportion true 12/15=47/50 16/36=12/27 15/20=24/26 or 4/16=2/14

jekas [21]

For 12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.

For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!

I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!

A rabbit can run 35 miles per hour.A fox can run 21 miles in half an hour.Which animal is faster and how much

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The fox is faster. Because he is a fox.

Also because he can (assuming he doesn't fatigue or get caught by hounds in the second half of the hour) run 42 miles in 1 hour.

The rabbit runs 35 miler per hour.

Velocity = Distance/time

Fox velocity = 21 miles/0.5 hour

Dividing by 0.5 is the same as multiplying by 2, so...

Fox velocity = 42 miles/hour
