Answer:
1/72=x (part a)
1/70=x (bart b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 1 by 72 for part a, and divide 1 by 70 for part b.
The discriminant of this equation is 49. The solutions for this equation are x=2 and x=-

Answer:
1½ cords per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
A log splitter can split 6/5 cords of wood in 4/5 of an hour.
To find a unit rate, we divide the quantity of cords of wood by the time.
This gives us the complex fraction.

This is the same as

To divide two fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.


This simplifies to:

The unit rate is 1.5 cords per hour
Answer:
y = 2x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The "rate of change" is the coefficient of x when the function is written in this form:
y = mx + b
That coefficient will be positive when the function has a positive rate of change.
y = 2x - 11 . . . has a positive rate of change
