Hello there!
Okay, I don't know if this is a "select all that apply", but I believe that answers 1, 2, and 3 are all equivalent to 0.53.
To see how these fractions are equal, I divided the numerators by the denominators. For instance, you could have 4 over 5 (4/5) and divide 4 by 5 (4/5) to get 0.8. Now you'll do the same thing for the fractions given
24/45=0.533...
8/15=0.533...
48/90=0.533...
5/9=0.5556
As you can see, the only fraction that doesn't equal 0.53, or the outlier, is 5/9 or 0.5556
I hope this helps you out!
Basically
just put the coeficinets of each variable in the apropriate row
example
ax+by=c and
dx+ey=f
would go in like this
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&|c\\d&e&|f\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Da%26b%26%7Cc%5C%5Cd%26e%26%7Cf%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
so
3x+1=1 and
0x-1y=5
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&1&|1\\0&-1&|5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D3%261%26%7C1%5C%5C0%26-1%26%7C5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
D is answer
Subtract 5a from both sides
-3=3a+6
Subtract 6 from both sides
-9=3a
Divide by three
a= -9/3 (which is -3)
Remember what you do to one side you must do to the other
Hello,
It is true that the sequence is arithmetic. Its common difference, of subtracting 7 each time, is always going to subtract 7 from each number.
Hope this helps!
