We can solve
<span>7/9 > x/13
for x.
multiply both sides by 13:
</span>
7/9 > x/13
7/9*13 > x/13 * 3
<span>7/9*13 > x
91/9 > x
reverse it to get
x < 91/9
this says that x has to be less than 91/9 for the inequality </span><span>7/9 > x/13 to be true.
91/9 in decimal form is 10.1 repeating.
the greatest integer x is therefore 10
answer is 10
can verify:
7/9 > x/13
7/9 is approximately 0.777777 so
0.7777 > x / 13
for x = 10, we have 10/13 = 0.7692. and 0.7777 is bigger than that
try next integer. at x = 11, we have 11/13 = 0.8462. this is bigger than 0.7777
so the answer is 10. that's the greatest integer

The ratio would need to be 1:1 in order to split the line in half. Think of it like having two cookies. If you split those cookies between you and your friend, then you get 1 and s/he gets the other. So the ratio of your cookie count to your friend's count is 1:1
With the ratio 1:2, you would have 1 cookie while your friend has 2 cookies. This is no longer a fair split. Things are not 50/50 anymore. You have 1/3 of the cookies while your friend has 2/3 of the cookies. Your friend would have twice as much.
So that applies to the segment lengths as well. The line segment would be split up into two parts A and B. Part A is the smaller segment that is half as long as part B. Or put another way, part B is twice as long as part A
3x+2(-1)=4(1)
or, alternatively,
3x-2=4
your answer either way is x=2
3x-2 = 4
+2 +2
3x = 6
/3 /3
x = 2
good luck!
To solve, start by counting how many units is B to A <em>or </em>A to B? 7. Now mirror this across. ( or reflect. )
When mirroring something, it will turn out to the same. So, it is respectively, 7.
So the answer is 7.
I'm pretty sure it's d. y=-3x
