Recognize that both 0.96 and 0.144 are divisible by 12:
(0.96/12) / (0.144/12) = 0.08 / 0.012. This reduces to 0.02 / 0.003, or
20/3 or approx. 6.666.
You could also begin by eliminating the decimal fractions. Mult. 0.96 and 0.144 each by 1000 results in 960/144.
Since both 960 and 144 can be divided evenly by 24, we get 40 and 6.
40/6 = 20/3, or approx. 6.666, as before.
Answer:
55 decrease by 5 is 50, or 55 - 5 = 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the missing number.
When you hear the words decrease, minus, that tells you to subtract.
Before we subtract, if there is a variable, we must do the opposite of subtraction, we need to add.
50 + 5 = x
Which means x = 50 + 5.
50 + 5 = 55.
Therefore, x = 55.
Y-4=5(x-6)
y-4=5x-30
5x-y=26
5x+(-1)y=26
6
Slope is change in y over change in x. -2-4 is -6, and -6- -5 which is -6+5 is -1. -6 over -1 is positive 6, so the slope is 6.
When combining like terms, always go from left to right.
7x-8x = -1x
9y-4y-5y=0
answer is -1x
