Answer:
-55/78 OR. -0.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the lowest common denominator for the 3 fractions. It is 12.
Rewrite each fraction with the denominator 12.
1/6 = 2/12
3/4 = 9/12
2/3 = 8/12
2/12 + 9/12 + 8/12 = 19/12
This can be written as the mixed number 1 7/12.
The answer is D) 1 7/12
Problem 7
Time is always an independent variable because time marches on doing its own thing without depending on external forces, or other people/things. Instead, other variables depend on time. In this case, the distance d depends on the independent variable t for time.
If the time goes up by 1 hour, then the distance variable goes up by 3 miles. In short, that tells us his speed is 3 mph.
Answer: Choice A) independent = time; dependent = distance

Problem 8
Everywhere you see an x, replace it with 9. Then use PEMDAS to simplify
f(x) = 5x - 9
f(9) = 5(9) - 9 ... x replaced with 9
f(9) = 45 - 9
f(9) = 36
Answer: 36
