(-2/5)-(-1/8)

Need to make the denominators the same

(-16/40)-(-5/40)

Multiply -2/5 by 8

Multiply -1/8 by 8

-- sign= positive

-16/40+5/40

Answer=-11/40

Please help me I’m in finals a don’t want to fail

Answer:

1, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

X <= 20 means that x has to be less than OR equal to 20.

The first option is -100. That's less than 20, so this statement is true.

The second option is 10. That's also less than 20, so this statement is also true.

The third option is 20. This is equal to 20, so this is also true.

The fourth option is 21, which is greater than 20, so it's not true.

The fifth option is 45, which is greater than 20, so it's not true.

Sorry I answered so late, hope this helps even though you probably don't need it anymore.

1. Carl's constant rate of speed is the slope of the straight line graph.

This straight line passes through: (0,0), (5,1), (10,2) etc

We can use the slope formula with any two points to find the slope of this line.

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(0,0)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(5,1)$

Then $m=\frac{1-0}{5-0}$ , $\implies m=\frac{1}{5}$ .

Carl's speed is $\frac{1}{5}$ miles per minute.

But we must leave our answer in miles per hour

Hence Carl's speed is $\frac{1}{5}\times 60=12$ miles per hour

After 2 hours, Carl will travel $12\times 2=24$ miles.

2. The given line has equation $-4x+y=10$

We write this in slope-intercept form by solving for y.

$\implies y=4x+10$

This is in the form $y=mx+c$ , where $m=4$ is the slope.

When x=3, $y=4(3)+10$

$\implies y=12+10=22$

When x=3, y=22

3. The given straight line graph that models the situation passes through:

(0,0) and (20,30).

The slope of this line is $\frac{Rise}{Run}=\frac{300}{20}=15$

Therefore the rate is $ 15 per ticket.

If the theater sells 150 tickets, the earnings will be: $150\times 15=2,250$ dollars.
