Usually a ratio will compare two numbers by division
Answer:
15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2
move the variable to it's own side.
5 3/4 - 4 1/2 = 1/6x
change the subtracting side to have common denominators
5 3/4 - 4 2/4 = 1/6x
1 1/4 = 1/6 x
divide both sides by 1/6, same thing as multiplying both sides by 6 (reciprocal)
30/4 = x
reduce: 15/2 = x
1. 78 = 0.15x
78 / 0.15 = x
520 = x.....so 78 is 15% of 520
2. | 3x - 2 | = 8 | x + 1 | = 1
3x - 2 = 8 -(3x - 2) = 8 x + 1 = 1 -(x + 1) = 1
3x = 8 + 2 -3x + 2 = 8 x = 1 - 1 -x - 1 = 1
3x = 10 -3x = 6 x = 0 -x = 2
x = 10/3 x = -2 x = -2
ur answer is : x = -2
3. 3y - 4x + 5 = 0
3y = 4x - 5
y = 4/3x - 5/3
slope = 4/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that 
is a right triangle where its hypotenuse is 
. We can also see that 
. For this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Recall:
The Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, the principal square root of the sum of the squares of each leg is the length the hypotenuse.
We can see that 
and
