First you need to find the common denominator. both 6 and 7 go in to 42 evenly
multiply 5/6 by 7 to get 35/42
multiply 2/7 by 6 to get 12/42
subtract 12 from 35 to get 23
23/42
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Sam opened a savings account with a deposit of $50. Every month after that, he deposited $20 more.
It is not a proportional relationship. As initial amount was $50 and every month he deposited $20 more. The ratio is not constant for the deposited amounts.
To make the relationship proportional, he must start with zero balance and then should have deposited $20 every month.
Answer:
We would need pictures of the figures first :(
Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.
Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.
x + x + 2 = -36
2x + 2 = -36
2x = -38
x = -19
The smaller one of the two integers is -19.
x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17
The greater of the two integers is -17.
Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.
