Answer:
- 2/5x=7/20x+1/4
- -3/4=-1/20x-1/2
- -3/4+1/20x=-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add 3/4 to both sides of the equation, you get ...
... 2/5x = 7/20x + 1/4 . . . . first choice
If you subtract 2/5x from both sides of the equation, you get ...
... -3/4 = -1/20x -1/2 . . . . third choice
If you subtract 7/20x from both sides of the equation, you get ...
... -3/4 +1/20x = -1/2 . . . . last choice
Choices 2 and 4 are erroneous versions of choices 1 and 3, so do not apply.
Answer: 12:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Fundamental principle of counting
You can figure the line for each pair of points, or you can try the points in the equation you have and see which are on the line.
First answer: x=1, y=-5×1 +4 = -1 . . . not 9. (1, 9) is not a point on the line
Second answer: x=2, y=-5×2 +4 = -6 . . . not -14. (2, 14) is not a point on the line
Third answer: (see the calculation for the first answer) . . . -1 ≠ 1. (1, 1) is not a point on the line
Fourth answer: (see the calculation for the second answer) We know that (2, -6) is on the given line. Checking (4, -16), we find it is as well.
The appropriate choice is the 4th answer:
... a line passing through the points (2, -6) and (4, -16)
Answer:
46/3
Step-by-step explanation:
|2a| - b/3
Plug in the values and evaluate.
|2(7)| - (-4)/3
|14| + 4/3
Apply | a | = a
14 + 4/3
42/3 + 4/3
= 46/3
