Answer:
y = -4/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
One tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
You state the number on top as is.
Numerator:
1 - one
2- two
and so on.
over the denominator
which you state as an ordinal number
2 = halves
3 = thirds
4 = fourths
5 = fifths
etc.
so 1/10 would be one over tenths but you say one tenth.
Answer:
He needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x lbs be the amount of sugar in the syrup. Then 5-x lbs is the amount of water in this syrup.
Note
5 lbs - 100%
x lbs - 75%
Write a proportion:
Cross multiply:
So, he needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 5 - 3.75 = 1.25 lbs of water.
An outside angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite inside angles.
Using the information in the picture, 132 is an outside angle and x and (3x-24) are the two opposite inside angles.
Setting up the equation you would have: 132 = x + (3x-24)
Now solve for x:
132 = x + (3x-24)
Simplify:
132 = 4x -24
Add 24 to both sides:
156 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 156/4
x = 39
