Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole book is 1.

So This will be your equation.

1/3 + 1/4 = 1

4/12 +3/12 = 1

7/12 = 1

Now you minus 7/12 from 1

1-7/12 is how much is left

12/12-7/12= 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the book

1/3b is the amount he finished on the first day

1/4b is the amount he finished on the second day

b - (1/3b + 1/4b) is how much he has left

b- (4/12b + 3/12b)       make the denominators the same

b- 7/12b                       add the fractions

5/12b                          The answer

John has 5/12 of the book to finish

I am sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted

But I hope this helps in someway!!!!

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. With y intercept of −3 and an x intercept of −4.5.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

y=-\frac{2}{3}x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line we need 2 points. We know:

  • If the y-intercept of the line is -3 then the point is (0,-3).
  • If the x-intercept of the line is -4.5 then the point is (-4.5,0).

Using these two point, we will find the slope and then substitute it into the point slope form y-y_1=m(x-x_1) with a point.

Slope: m=\frac{0--3}{-4.5-0}=\frac{0+3}{-4.5}=\frac{3}{-4.5}=-0.6667

This decimal is -2/3. We will now substitute -2/3 and (0,-3) into the point slope form.

y--3=-\frac{2}{3}(x-0)\\y+3=-\frac{2}{3}(x)\\y+3=-\frac{2}{3}x\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x-3

Solve the following system using the substitution, elimination, or graphing method for the x coordinate:
igomit [66]
Hey there!

To solve this system of equations, you will need to get one of the terms in both equations to cancel out to zero. If there isn't a term that you can cancel out, you can multiply either or both equations to make that term. There's no wrong way to do this, just as long as you make sure that you double check whether your should add or subtract. This is easier shown than explained, so refer below:

<span>  x + y = +1
5x + y = –6

</span>–1(x + y = +1)
   5x + y = –6

–x – y = –1
5x + y = –6

You can see that once we combine these equations by adding, the y term will become 0, eliminating it. This is necessary for solving the system, so make sure you do it. Also, remember to distribute the term that you need to to all of the numbers in the equation! After that, just solve for the variable that's still in the equation. 

   –x – y = –1
+ 5x + y = –6

4x + 0y = –7
4x = –7
x = –1.75

Now, just plug the value we found for x into either one of your equations in the original system as it's presented in your problem. 

x + y = 1
–1.75 + y = 1
+1.75        +1.75

y = 2.75

All that's left to do is check your point (–1.75, 2.75). If it's true for both equations, your answer is correct!

–1.75 + 2.75 = 1
<span>5(–1.75) + 2.75 = –6

</span>(–1.75, 2.75) is the solution to your system. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Which set of angle measures could be the interior angles of a triangle? A. 15°, 48°, 27° B. 56°, 45°, 46° C. 42°, 84°, 64° D. 93
TEA [102]

Answer:

D. 93°, 29°, 58°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle we can only have 3 Interior angles.

The sum of the Interior angles in a triangle = 180°

Adding up the given Interior angles in the above question:

A. 15°, 48°, 27°

= 15° + 48° + 27°

= 90°

90° ≠ 180°

Option A is wrong

B. 56°, 45°, 46°

= 56 ° + 45° + 46°

= 147°

147° ≠ 180°

Option B is wrong

C. 42°, 84°, 64°

= 42° + 84° + 64°

= 190°

= 190° ≠ 180°

Option C is wrong.

D. 93°, 29°, 58°

93° + 29° + 58°

= 180°

180° = 180°

Option D is the correct Option.

Therefore, the set of angle measures that could be the interior angles of a triangle is Option D. 93°, 29°, 58°
