B. Decreases
(Hopefully I’m right!)
Answer:
1. 
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 8 = 4 * 2; 10 = 5 * 2; 18 = 9 * 2....
2. 4 = 1 * 3 + 1; 7 = 2 * 3 + 1; 10 = 3 * 3 + 1....
Answer:
y = 8/7x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 7y = -35
8x +35= 7y
8/7x + 5 = y
2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
