6*6= 36
7*6- 42

36+42= 78.

The fraction is 36/42.

Let x be the factor that both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by to have an equivalent fraction.

so 6x/7x is 6/7

then
6x+7x=78
13x=78
x=78/13
x=6

therefore the fraction is (6*6)/(7*6) or 36/42

check: 36+42=78 !

Determine whether 6 is a solution of the equation 2x - 5 = 1.

kupik [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if x = 6 is a solution, substitute x = 6 into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is a solution.

2(6) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 ≠ 1

Then x = 6 is not a solution of the equation since a false statement results after replacing x with 6 (B)

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a function f(x)

$f(x) = e^x -e^{-\frac{{x}}{2}$

We have to analyse and sketch the graph

X intercept : Put y =0, we get x=0

Y intercept: Put x =0 , we get y =0

No exception for x or y and hence set of all real numbers is domain and range.

$f'(x) = (e^x +1/2 e^{-\frac{{x}}{2})$

f' becomes 0 not at finite points

So relative extreme

Graph is sketched and attached

68 km / 34 trips = 2 km per trip

Divide total distance by distance per trip:

348 km / 2 km per trip = 174 trips

Answer: 174 trips

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7)?

Stells [14]

Answer: The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then, given the points $(-3, 5)$ and $(1, 7)$ , you can identify that:

$y_2=5\\y_1=7\\\\x_2=-3\\x_1=1$

Knowing these values you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{5-7}{-3-1}$

Finally, evaluating, you get that the slope of that line is:

$m=\frac{-2}{-4}\\\\m=\frac{1}{2}$
