-6/7 = -0.85
-31/50 = -0.62
So -0.62 is greater than -0.85
-0.62 < -0.85
Because the bigger the fraction is the less it actually is and I think the same goes for decimals . Hope I helped
Answer:
1.y = -5/3 = -1.667
2. y = -3/2 = -1.500
Step-by-step explanation:
90 + -1 = -91
-45 + -2 = -47
-30 + -3 = -33
-18 + -5 = -23
-15 + -6 = -21
-10 + -9 = -19
-9 + -10 = -19
-6 + -15 = -21
-5 + -18 = -23
-3 + -30 = -33
-2 + -45 = -47
-1 + -90 = -91
1 + 90 = 91
2 + 45 = 47
3 + 30 = 33
5 + 18 = 23
6 + 15 = 21
9 + 10 = 19

Answer:
8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write an equation for Type A
The initial value is 5 ft and the slope 12 inches
We need to have the same units, so lets change 5 ft to inches
5 ft * 12 inches / ft = 60 inches
y = mx+b
y = 12 x + 60
Lets write an equation for Type B
The initial value is 3 ft and the slope 15 inches
We need to have the same units, so lets change 3 ft to inches
3 ft * 12 inches / ft = 36 inches
y = mx+b
y = 15 x + 36
We want to know when y is the same value. We can set the equations equal.
12x + 60 = 15x+36
Subtract 12 x from each side
12x-12x+60 = 15x-12x +36
60 =3x+36
Subtract 36 from each side
60-36 = 3x+36-36
24 = 3x
Divide each side by 3
24/3 = 3x/3
8 =x
It will take 8 years for the trees to be the same height
