Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer: X = 0
Let me know if it’s correct
Answer:
Y=5x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a perpendicular like would be 5
y = 5x + B
-2 = 5(-2)+ B
-2 = -10 + b
b = 8
Y=5x + 8
-512.
Type negative 8 to the third power in google. It really is the answer. :)
