^ is correct ! the person above
Let n and d represent the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
.. (n +1)/(d +1) = 4/5
.. (n -5)/(d -5) = 1/2
Eliminating fractions from these equations gives
.. 5(n +1) = 4(d +1)
.. 2(n -5) = (d -5)
Subtracting the first equation from 4 times the second gives
.. 4(2(n -5)) -(5(n +1)) = 4(d -5) -(4(d +1))
.. 8n -40 -5n -5 = 4d -20 -4d -4
.. 3n = 21
.. n = 7
.. 2(7 -5) = d -5
.. 9 = d
The fraction is 7/9.
Answer:
The predicted GPA is then y = 0.149(15) + 0.89 = 3.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Although you don't specifically say so, the equation you provide here is probably a "best fit" equation based upon data: GPA versus the number of hours of study per week.
y = 0.149x + 0.89 and the number of study hours of interest is 15.
Well I think I can help you out ...
if you assume input x=2
the output will be as following :
y= -1/3(2)+2
=-2/3+2
=-2/3+6/3
=(-2+6)/3
=4/3
=1.333
Answer:
The answer is x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If you set both equations equal to each other and solve for x, you will get 20.
3x+32 = 5x-8 add 8 to both sides
3x+40 = 5x subtract 3x from both sides
40 = 2x divide by 2 on both sides
20 = x
