The sixth graders collected $250 of their $300 goal. The seventh graders collected $250 of thier $450 goal.
Sixth Graders:
$250 / $300
Reduce: $25 / $30 = 5/6
Seventh Graders:
$250 / $450
Reduce: $25 / $45 = 5/9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:consecutive integers are represented by x, x+1 , so for this problem the greater one is represented by x + 1.
Now you need to translate the problem. the greater is seven less than 1/3 the smaller
---> x + 1 = (1/3)*x - 7 ---> now solve for x (the smaller) and x+1 (the greater)
***hint: to get rid of fractions in an equation you can always multiply EVERYTHING by the denominator , 3 in this case
Answer:
my best advice: look at the y-intercepts!
Step-by-step explanation:
when the equations are set out like this, the last number (in this case "+4" and "-2"), represents where they cross the y axis. this gives you a great place to start.
if you plot (0, 4) for the first equation, you can then move right one square and down one square to get the next point in the equation.
the next one starts with (0, -2) and goes right one square and up two
