First you have to find 1/3 of the marbles. That means in the twelve marvels she has, there are three even groups. Divide twelve by three and you get four. So if each group is four, it is simple from here on out. If she started out with twelve and she lost 1/3 of them(4) it would be 12-4. You know this because lost is another for for subtract. 12-4=8. She has 8 marbles left.
The other dog's age is "x". Rex's puppy is 5 years less than "x". SO...
x-5.
Understand?
Answer:
C. -1 is less than x
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 < 4x + 1
-3-1 < 4x +(1 -1)
-4 < 4x
-4/4 < 4x/4
-1 < x
Answer:
B. y= 2x–15
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that represents the line that passes through the points (8, 1) and (10,5) is y= 2x–15
"x" is found on the left hand side of the bracket and "y" is found on the right hand side of the bracket :)
(8, 1) and (10, 5)
x in the first bracket is 8 and x in the second bracket is 10.
y in the first bracket is 1 and y in the second bracket is 5.
When this equation is applied to find the value for y we get:
y= 2x-15
y= 2(8)-15
y= 16-15
y= 1
y= 2x-15
y= 2(10)-15
y= 20-15
y= 5
We got back the values of y and this means that the equation was correctly chosen and the answer is correct :)
