Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we will convert the fractions denominator to the same number

24 will work as it is divisible by both

3/8= 9/24

5/6=20/24

so which is bigger? 9/24 OR 20/24 [20/24 is bigger]

Now, 20/24 is 5/6 (look above) thus 5/6 is greater than 3/8

I hope this is what u wanted ovo enjoy!

Calculate the slope of a line that passes through the points (6, -12) and (15, -3).

Stells [14]

Answer:

B. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is calculated by taking the difference in the y-coordinates of two points and dividing that by the difference in the x-coordinates of those two points.

Here, we have (6, -12) and (15, -3).

The difference in the y-coordinates is:

15 - 6 = 9

The difference in the x-coordinates is:

-3 - (-12) = -3 + 12 = 9

Divide 9 by 9:

9/9 = 1

The slope is thus 1, and the answer is B.

Solve the equation. Show your work and check your solution.<br> 4+4(x−2)=2(x+1)−x

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4+4(x-2)=2(x+1)−x

Distribute

4+4x-8 = 2x+1-x

Rearrange and Simplify

4x - 4 = x + 1

Subtract x and add 4

3x = 5

Divide

x = 3/5

What is the value of x in the equation StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction (StartFraction 21 Over 8 EndFraction x + one-half) = n

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{4}{7}\left(\dfrac{21}{8}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=-2\left(\dfrac{1}{7}-\dfrac{5}{28}x\right)\\\\\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b\pm c)=ab\pm ac\\\\\left(\dfrac{4}{7}\right)\left(\dfrac{21}{8}x\right)+\left(\dfrac{4}{7}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=(-2)\left(\dfrac{1}{7}\right)-(-2)\left(\dfrac{5}{28}x\right)\\\\\dfrac{4\cdot21}{7\cdot8}x+\dfrac{4\cdot1}{7\cdot2}=-\dfrac{2}{7}+\dfrac{2\cdot5}{28}x\qquad\text{simplify}$

$\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{2}{7}=-\dfrac{2}{7}+\dfrac{5}{14}x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 14}\\\\(14)\left(\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)+(14)\left(\dfrac{2}{7}\right)=(14)\left(-\dfrac{2}{7}\right)+(14)\left(\dfrac{5}{14}x\right)\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\(7)(3x)+(2)(2)=(2)(-2)+(1)(5x)\\\\21x+4=-4+5x\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\21x+4-4=-4-4+5x\\\\21x=-8+5x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\21x-5x=-8+5x-5x\\\\16x=-8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}$

$\dfrac{16x}{16}=\dfrac{-8}{16}\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=-0.5}$
