Answer:
well now he has one of the things that he wanted and he has some money in the bank to build up interest or to have for an emergency. it was also good because it was the cheaper of the two items.
have a good day!
You have one of the answers correct. The fraction 4/8 is equal to 1/2
Other answers are: 5/10, 10/20, and 6/12
If you reduced each of those fractions, you'd get to 1/2.
You can use a calculator to find that
4/8 = 0.5
1/2 = 0.5
5/10 = 0.5
10/20 = 0.5
6/12 = 0.5
All fractions mentioned lead to the same decimal value, so this confirms all of the fractions are equivalent to one another.
(1,-1) and (3,5)
Find slope first
y=mx+b
slope is also m
b is y-intercept
slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
x1=1
x2=3
y1=-1
y2=5
5-(-1)/(3)-(1)
6/2=3
y=3x+b
use (1,-1) into y=3x+b ( using substitution method)
-1=3(1)+b
-1=3+b
Move 3 to the other side
Sign changes from +3 to -3
-1-3+3-3+b
b=-4
Answer: C.) Y = 3x-4
Answer:
In a system, the substitution method is one of the 3 main ways to solve a system and can be very efficient at times.
<u>Skills needed: Systems, Algebra</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Let's say we are given two equations below:
We can use substitution here by substituting in for 
in the second equation. This means we put in 
for in the 2nd equation so we only have 
variables in the equation, allowing us to solve for .
2) Solving it out:
We essentially substitute in that value as seen in step 1. Steps 2 and 3 are just simplifying the left side and allowing for us to solve. Step 4 is where we divide by -16 on both sides to solve for x. Step 5 and 6 show us solving for y using the value for x. We get 
Answer: C 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula: distance = rate x time
We can say that train 1 travels a distance of x, and train 2 travels a distance of 700 - x
The rate of train 1 is 75 mph, and the rate of train 2 is 100 mph
The time traveled for the two trains will be the same. We can represent that with the variable t.
We have the following equation for train 1:
x = 75t
For train 2, we have this equation:
700 - x = 100t
Use the Substitution Method by replacing x in the equation for train 2 with the value 75t.
700 - 75t = 100t
700 = 175t
700/175 = 4 hours.
It will take 4 hours for the two trains to meet.
