A) Always TRue
Both integers are rational, so the sum must be rational
-1/3
really? it's that easy dude.
whatever number is next to x, like say, 3x, that number would be the slope, so it would be 3.
hope it helped.
<span>Melvina's age is = x, Bettina's age is = 3x
the equation is
x + 20 = 3x - 20
subtract 3x from both sides
-(3x) + x +20 = 3x - 20 - (3x)
-2x + 20 = -20
subtract 20 from both sides
-2x + 20 - (20) = -20 - (20)
-2x = - 40
divide both sides by -2
(-2x)/-2 = (-40)/-2
x = 20
Melvinas age is 20 and Bettinas age is 60</span>
