Alright, so let's make both 7/8 and 3/10 into fractions with the same denominator.
The lowest common denominator for both of these is 80.
So, we multiply the top and bottom of 7/8 by 10, and the top and bottom of 3/10 by 8 to get fractions we can compare.
So, we have 70/80 of a candy bar, and we want to make servings of 24/80 each.
How many times can 24 go into 70? 2 times, with a remainder of 22.
So, Tony can make 2 servings.
The correct answer is 8 1/3. Hope this helps!!
So, both equations are essentially linear equations.
Linear equations are written in the format
y = mx+b, where
m represents the
slope/slope intercept and
b represents the
y-intercept.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part Athe slope and y-intercept
y = mx +b
m - the slope; b- y-intercept
therefore;
y = 6x - 4
m = 6; b = -4y = 5x - 3
m = 5; b = -3The coordinates of the point where the lines are crossed are the solution to the system of linear equations.
How to graph the lines:
y = 6x - 4
y-intercept (0; -4)
for x = 1 ⇒ y = 6 · 1 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 ⇒ (1; 2)
y = 5x - 3
y-intercept (0; -3)
for x=1 ⇒ y = 5 · 1 - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2 ⇒ (1; 2)
***look at the img for graph reference***Part B:
x = 1; y = 2
1/3x=20
1st step do the opposite of 1/3x to get it by itself. So you would do 1/3x *3/1 than you would do 3/1 *20. What you do to that side you do to the other.
2nd step 20*3=60
3rd You can check your answer by doing 1/3 *60=20
