What is the answer to 10 - 5 2/3 I suck at fractions

1 answer:

8 0

4 1/3

Okay, I know fractions are scary, but we can do this alright?

First, you see the whole number on the side? Get that first.

10- 5 = 5

now we have 5 left and a scary fraction. Don't panic, let's do this. We know 1 is 3/3. 1 can be anything as long as the number on top and the number at the bottom are the same then it would be one.

So 3/3 is one then we can subtract:

3/3 -2/3 .

We subtract the top number and leave the one at the bottom the same.

3-2 = 1

Then we have 1/3.

As you took one away from the 5, it becomes a 4 and you put back the left over, 1/3.

Then you answer will be :

4 1/3

Find the equation of the circle with center (4,5) which passes through the y-intercept of the line 5x-2y+6=0

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

(x-4)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the line equation of 5x - 2y + 6 = 0

So y = 5/2x +3

The y-intercept of the line equation is 3 as when x=0, y=3.

We know the Circle has the formula $(x-4)^2 + (y-5)^2 = ?^2$ from the question but with the intercept, we can find the entire equation as the y-intercept is (0,3) so we can substitute it into the equation to find the full equations so:
