Brigitte is shorter than 5 feet. (Brigitte's height=h)
We write this in inequality form
Brigitte's height is h
So 'h' is shorter than 5 feet
Shorter means less than so we use < symbol. We should not use = symbol because height is shorter than 5 not equal to 5.
Suppose if it is given ' height is more than 5 feet ' then we use greater than symbol (>)
h is less than 5 feet
h < 5
Inequality is h < 5
She is not correct, because $3.00 divided by 6 is 50 cents, so by using that equation she could evaluate that she is wrong and find the correct answer.
Answer:
Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
27.35 x 20/100
=> 2.735 x 2/1
=> $5.47
=> $5.50 (Rounded)
Therefore, Option D is correct.
Hoped this helped.
Three main methods come to mind: Substitution method, Elimination method, Matrix row-reduction.The first two methods are taught in early grades in most high schools. Matrix row-reduction is taught in senior years in high school, or more likely, in the early years of a university math or science program.
Complete Question:
If the point (2, 5) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, then determine the missing values of b and m. Show how you arrive at your answer.
1. y = 3x + b
2. y = mx + 9
Answer:
1. Intercept, b = -1
2. Slope, m = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Points on the line (x, y) = (2, 5)
To find the missing values;
Mathematically, the equation of a straight line is given by the formula;
y = mx + b
Where;
- m is the slope.
- x and y are the points
- b is the intercept.
1. y = 3x + b
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = 3(2) + b
5 = 6 + b
b = 5 - 6
<em>Intercept, b = -1</em>
2. y = mx + 9
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = m(2) + 9
5 = 2m + 9
2m = 5 - 9
2m = -4
m = -4/2
<em>Slope, m = -2</em>
