To subtract fractions, we need an lcd( lowest common denominator)

8. the lcd is 42 because it’s the smallest number that 6 and 7 are both factors of. the lcd is the bottom of the fraction

to make the denominator of (4/7) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 6 and we get (24/42)

to make the denominator of (3/6) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 7 and we get (21/42)

these two numbers now have the same denominator so we subtract them

24/42 - 21/42 = 3/42 which simplifies to 1/14

9. since these fractions already have a common denominator, we will make them mixed fractions

-5(2/7) as a mixed fraction. first multiply 5*7 which is 35. now add 2 which is 37. our mixed fraction is -37/7

-1(5/7) as a mixed fraction. multiple 1*7 which is 7. now add 5 which is 12. our mixed fraction is -12/7

now subtract (-37/7) - (12/7) and we get -49/7 which simplifies to -7

3. Try It #3 Write the point-slope form of an equation of a line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (-2,2). Then r

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Point-slope form of equation given as $y-2=-2(x+2)$ .

Slope-intercept form of equation is given as $y=-2 x-2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it is given that the slope of a line is -2 and it passes from (-2,2).

It is asked to write the point-slope form of the equation and rewrite it as slope-intercept form.

To do so, first find the values which are given in the question and put it in the formula of point-slope form. Simplify the equation to rewrite as slope-intercept form.

Step 1 of 2

Passing point of the line is (-2,2).

Hence, $x_{1}=-2$ and

$y_{1}=2 \text {. }$

Also, the slope of the line is -2.

Hence, m=-2

Substitute the above values in point-slope form of equation given by $y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$\begin{aligned}&y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right) \\&y-2=-2(x-(-2) \\&y-2=-2(x+2)\end{aligned}$

Hence, point-slope form of equation given as y-2=-2(x+2).

Step 2 of 2

Solve y-2=-2(x+2) to write it as slope-intercept form given by y=mx+c.

$\begin{aligned}&y-2=-2(x+2) \\&y-2=-2 x-4 \\&y=-2 x-4+2 \\&y=-2 x-2\end{aligned}$

Hence, slope-intercept form of equation is given as y=-2x-2.

10 men working for 6 days can complete 5 copies of a book if there are 8 men working to complete 4 copies of the book how many d

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

6 Days

Step-by-step explanation:

Practically:

It takes,

10 Men ( complete ) 5 Copies --> 6 Days

So, 2 Men can complete 1 copy in 6 days.

Question asks us :

8 Men ( complete ) 4 Copies --> X Days

It will take 6 days because the proportion of men to copies is same as the first equation.

Theoretically:

10 Men 5 Copies 6 Days

8 Men 4 Copies X Days

> 6/X = 8/10 ( If men decrease the number of days increase. So, it is an indirect proportion. ) . 5/4 ( If copies decrease the number of days decrease as well. So, it is a direct proportion. )

> 6/X = 8/10 . 5/4

> 6/X = 40/40

> 6/X = 1

<h2>> X=6</h2><h2></h2><h2><em>I hope it will be understood.</em></h2><h2><em>If I have any inaccuracies please let me know.</em></h2><h2><em>Have a nice day and never stop questioning!</em></h2><h3><em></em></h3>

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations

Colt1911 [192]

The ordered pair that is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (7, 1/2)

The given system of equations is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 4.......................(1)\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x-3..........................(2)$

Equate equations (1) and (2)

$-\frac{1}{2}x + 4=\frac{1}{2}x -3$

Solve for x in the equation above

$-\frac{1}{2}x -\frac{1}{2}x =-3-4\\\\-x=-7\\\\x=7$

Substitute x = 7 into equation (1)

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 4\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}(7) + 4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}$

The ordered pair that is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (7, 1/2)
