3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4
The slope is 3/1, which can be simplified to 3. Find it by traveling up 3 points and over 1 point form one intersection point to the next.
Answer:
750 profit
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Profit of 10 on white cement
Loss of 5 on Grey cement
Number of white cement sold = 325 bags
Number of Grey cement sold = 500 bags
Total profit made on sale of white cement :
10 * 325 = 3250
Loss made on sale of Grey cement :
5 * 500 = 2500
Total profit or loss :
3250 - 2500
= 750
Profit value is greater than. Loss value (hence, total profit of 750 was made).
