Answer:
x + 4y = 4
4y = 4 - x
multiply both sides by 1/4
y = 1/4( 4- x)
y = 1- 1/4x
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion to determine
42 people 6 people
---------------- = ----------------
14 boats x boats
Using cross products
42x = 6*14
42x =84
Divide each side by 42
42x/42 = 84/42
x = 2
They will need 2 boats
The answer to this question is 4y+4
Answer:
a*b = 1/2
a/ b = 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 0.66666 and b = 0.75
To multiply it we write the decimal numbers in fraction form
a= 0.666666...
Multiply by 10 on both sides
10 a = 6.66666...
a = 0.66666...
Subtract the second equation
9a = 6
divide by 9 on both sides

so 0.6666 = 2/3
Now we convert 0.75 into fraction form

Multiply top and bottom by 100 to remove decimal

so 0.75 is 3/4
a= 2/3 and b = 3/4


-8/5 is a rational number because in order to be a rational number it must be able to be written as a fraction. -8/5 is a fraction; therefore, the negative does not affect it.
