If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.

What is<br> is 1/4 + 9/10y -3/5y +7/8 written in simplest form?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{9}{10}y - \frac{3}{5}y+\frac{7}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3}{5}y\\\\$

Combine like terms. 1/4 and 7/8 are like terms and LCD of 4 and 8 is 8

9/10y and -3/5y are like terms and LCD of 10 , 5 is 10

$= \frac{1*2}{4*2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3*2}{5*2}y\\\\=\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{6}{10}y\\\\=\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{10}y$

Multiple samples of students were asked four questions, with the sampling variability of their answers to question 4 being the h

iogann1982 [59]

The variability measures the closeness of the individual data provided. So, the most reliable sampling is the one with the lowest variability.

For this case, the question with the lowest sampling variability is question 3. Therefore, we can conclude that the answers to which of the questions are most reliable is question 3.
