The answer should be 3 :)
U + 4/5 = 2 and 1/3
Subtract 4/5 from each side of the equation:
U = (2 and 1/3) - (4/5)
Now it's just problem in plain old adding and subtracting fractions,
just like the ones you've done many times before.
First let's change (2 and 1/3) to a fraction: 2 and 1/3 = 7/3
So you have to find the value of (7/3) - (4/5) .
In order to add or subtract fractions, they need to have a common denominator.
The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so that's a good choice.
7/3 = 35/15
4/5 = 12/15
Now the problem is: (35/15) - (12/15).
That's 23/15 . . . . . the same thing as <u>1 and 8/15</u> .
That's the value of ' U '. What an ugly number !
The correct answer is B. -12
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+2-7x=-70
Minus two from each side.
-2x-7x=-72
Combine like terms.
-9x=-72
Divide -9 from each side.
x=8
Answer:
The slope is -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=3: Put it in slope intercept form. First you have to subtract x from both sides: y=-3-x. Next switch into slope intercept form. y=-x-3. The slope is -x (or -1) and the y-intercept is -3.
