In math the fraction 5/6 means 5 and 6 tenths.
X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60
4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20
x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5
Answer:
y-1=-3/4(x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-1=-3/4(x-(-8))
y-1=-3/4(x+8)
Answer:
25x - 45 = 5(5x - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 25 and 45.
You can do this several ways, but one way is to list all the factors of both numbers and find the greatest common one:
Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25
Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
Therefore, 25 and 45 have 2 common factors: 1 and 5
So the greatest common factors is 5
25x - 45 = 5(ax - b)
To find the value of a, simply divide 25 by 5: 25 ÷ 5 = 5
To find the value of b, divide 45 by 5: 45 ÷ 5 = 9
25x - 45 = 5(5x - 9)
