This kind of number is known as an irrational number
0.5(x - 3) + (1.5 - x) = 5x
0.5x - 1.5 + 1.5 - x = 5x
-0.5x = 5x
5x + 0.5x = 0
5.5x = 0
x = 0
Gradient= -3/2 Equation: Y=mx+c Y=2 , X=8
So you substitute the numbers in
2=(-3/2) x 2 + c (then you backtrack to solve for c which is the y intercept)
2=-3+c
5=c So the equation should be Y=-3/2x+5
The answer is the number that 't' must be in order for the equation
to be a true statement.
Here's how to find it:
Write t + 8 = 15
Then subtract 8 from each side: <em> t = 7</em>
rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".
we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.
