What you do is you find the common denominator between the two fractions given. the easiest is to just multiply them
6*8=48
and then multiply each numerator by the number it's denominator is multiplied by
1*8=8 and 5*6=30
and now you have your new fractions, add them together
8/48+30/48=38/48
this leaves 10/48 as the people who were wearing shorts, just simplify this and it's done
10/2 =5/24
48/2
Answer:
3/7 / 42.8% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 striped balls (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) and 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) solid colored balls. So, 6 / 14 balls are striped.
(6 / 14 = 3 / 7)
this means that the probability of a ball being striped has the odds of 3/7
(3/7 = about 42.8% chance)
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. So the slope that can be formed given the points (-3,6) and (9,2) is (9-(-3))/(2-6)=12/-4=-3
With y=-3x+b, we need b, which can be found by plugging in either point:
2=-3(9)+b
2=-27+b
29=b
So the y-intercept therefore cannot be 29 but it can be any real number.
So the equation y=-3x+2 works, y=-3x+3, y=-3x+4, and so on....
Answer:
x

It does not say the number of how many people are suing blue or white.
Answer:
One solution
Step-by-step explanation:
They have isolated y for you in both equations so you can plug either one into the other.
y = 3x - 1
2x + 7 = 3x - 1
isolate the x
7 = x - 1
x = 8
Go back to the original and plug 8 into x to get y.
y = 2 (8) + 7
y = 16 + 7
y = 23
This means at (8, 23) y = 2x+7 is equal to y = 3x-1. In other words they share a point at (8, 23). This is the only solution because for any other x and y they'd not be equal.
