Mathematics
1 answer:
aleksley [76]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5/6-2/3=1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You make the denominators the same. Like 5/6 and 2/3 you can make the fractions have the same denominator.

5/6-2/3 is the same as the equation 5/6-4/6 but simplified.

Please help, this is for 8th grade math.
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

(2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to substitute y in the first equation with the right side of the second equation because they both equal to y.

-3x+4 = 4x-10

-3x-4x+4-4 = 4x-4x-10-4

-7x = -14

-7x/-7 = -14/-7

x = 2

Plugin 2 for x for either equation to solve for y, I'll be using the second equation, but either one is fine.

y = 4(2)-10

y = 8-10

y = -2

Plugin x = 2 and y = -2 into (x,y), and you get (2,-2)

What is the slope and y-Intercept of the equation 3(y – 2) + 6(x + 1) - 2 = 0?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

  • A. Slope = -2, y-intercept = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form:</u>

  • 3(y - 2) + 6(x + 1) - 2 = 0
  • 3y - 6 + 6x + 6 - 2 = 0
  • 3y + 6x - 2 = 0
  • 3y = - 6x + 2
  • y = - 2x + 2/3

The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 2/3

Correct choice is A

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu
IgorC [24]

Answer:

\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

\sqrt{xy}

The Arithmetic mean is

\frac{x + y}{2}

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} }  =  \frac{3}{5}

We can write the equation;

\sqrt{xy}  = 3

or

xy = 9 -  -  - (2)

l

and

\frac{x + y}{2}  = 5

or

x + y = 10 -  -  - (2)

Make y the subject in equation 2

y = 10 - x -  -  - (3)

Put equation 3 in 1

x(10 - x) = 9

10x -  {x}^{2}  = 9

{x}^{2}  - 10x + 9 = 0

(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0

x =1  \: or \: 9

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

\frac{1}{9}
