Answer:

  • \frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}          

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the value of a number 'a' be = 8/15
  • Let the value of a number 'b' be = 2/3

The difference between the two numbers can be calculated by subtracting the numbers

a-b=\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)

\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a

         =\frac{8}{15}-\frac{-2}{3}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}

          =\frac{8}{15}-\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a

          =\frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{3}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

          =\frac{8+10}{15}

          =\frac{18}{15}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:3

           =\frac{6}{5}

Thus,

  • \frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}

Graph the solution if the this inequality 4/9x-10>x/3-12
cupoosta [38]

You want to isolate the x-term from the constant term, so you can subtract x/3 and add 10. This gives you

... 4/9x -10 -x/3 +10 > x/3 -12 -x/3 +10

... 1/9x > -2 . . . . . . collect terms

Now, you can multiply by 9 to see the condition on x.

... 9(1/9x) > -2(9)

... x > -18


On the x-y plane, the graph of this will be a dashed line at x=-18, and the half-plane to the right of that line will be shaded.


On a number line, there will be an open circle at x=-18, and the number line to the right of that circle will be marked (bold, colored, shaded, whatever).

A cylindrical basket has a volume of 15 cubic feet. If the height of the basket is 1.5 feet, what is the area of the base of the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

10 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:

Volume = Base Area x Height

In our case we are given

Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft

Substituting these known values into the formula gives:

Volume = Base Area x Height

15 = Base Area x 1.5

Base Area = 15 / 1.5

Base Area = 10 ft²

PLEASE HELP!!<br> Factor <br> 6x^2-42x-54<br><br> Please show work!
skad [1K]

first, rewrite 54 as 6•9

next, rewrite 42 as 6•7

then, that gets you 6x^2 -6•7x- 6•9

lastly, factor out the common term (6)

and then you get 6(x^2-7x-9)

Karyn proofreads 15 pages in 2 hours for $40.
OLEGan [10]
Hi there.

Since she reads 15 pages in 2 hours, all we have to do to find out how much she reads in 1 hour is divide.

15/2 = 7.5

7.5 pages/hour

Same applies to the pay

40/2 = 20

$20/hour

Karyn proofreading rate is 7.5 pages per hour. Karyn receives on average $20 per hour.
