Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sam has to memorize 1/2 of his lines and he memorizes 1/3 of his lines today, the fractions of his lines that he has left to memorize will be gotten by subtracting 1/3 from 1/2. This will be:

= 1/2 - 1/3

= 3/6 - 2/6

= 1/6

Therefore, he has 1/6 of his lines left to memorize.

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions of his lines will he have left to memorize is calculated as:

Number of lines he has to memorize - Number of line he memorized today

Number of lines he has to memorize = 1/2

Number of line he memorized today = 1/3

Hence,

= 1/2 - 1/3

Lowest Common Denominator = 6

= 3 - 2/6

= 1/6

Answer:

1. x = 18.4

2. x = -1.25

3. x = $\frac{5}{12}$

4. x = 12.3

5. x = 6.4

6. z = 5.8

7. x = $\frac{1}{12}$

8. x = - $\frac{1}{4}$

9. x = $\frac{1}{3}$

10. x = -9

11. z = 18

12. x = 7

13. x = -9

14. x = -36

15. x = -7

16. x = 8

17. z = -1.5

18. x = - $\frac{45}{7}$

19. x = 16

20. x = -12

21. x = $\frac{8}{3}$

22. x = -1.6

23. x = 1.8

24. x = -8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 3.5 = 14.9 (add 3.5 to each side)

x = 18.4

2. x + 2.25 = 1 (subtract 2.25 from each side)

x = -1.25

3. - $\frac{1}{3}$ = x - $\frac{3}{4}$ (add $\frac{3}{4}$ to each side)

$\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ = x (multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ by $\frac{3}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ by $\frac{4}{4}$ to get a common denominator)

$\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{4}{12}$ = x

$\frac{5}{12}$ = x

4. x - 2.8 = 9.5 (add 2.8 to each side)

x = 12.3

5. x - 8.5 = -2.1 (add 8.5 to each side)

x = 6.4

6. z - 9.4 = -3.6 (add 9.4 to each side)

z = 5.8

7. x + $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{12}$ (subtract $\frac{5}{6}$ from each side)

x = $\frac{11}{12}$ - $\frac{5}{6}$ (multiply $\frac{5}{6}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ to get a common denominator)

x = $\frac{11}{12}$ - $\frac{10}{12}$

x = $\frac{1}{12}$

8. - $\frac{5}{6}$ + x = - $\frac{13}{12}$ (add $\frac{5}{6}$ to each side)

x = $\frac{5}{6}$ - $\frac{13}{12}$ (multiply $\frac{5}{6}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ to get a common denominator)

x = $\frac{10}{12}$ - $\frac{13}{12}$

x = - $\frac{3}{12}$ = - $\frac{1}{4}$

9. x - $\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{5}{18}$ (add $\frac{1}{9}$ to each side)

x = $\frac{1}{9}$ + $\frac{5}{18}$ (multiply $\frac{1}{9}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ to get a common denominator)

x = $\frac{2}{18}$ + $\frac{5}{18}$

x = $\frac{6}{18}$ = $\frac{3}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

10. x + 6 = -3 (subtract 6 from each side)

x = -9

11. z - 7 = 11 (add 7 to each side)

z = 18

12. -1 = x - 8 (add 8 to each side)

7 = x

13. -4x = 36 (divide each side by -4)

x = -9

14. - $\frac{x}{3}$ = 12 (multiply each side by -3)

x = -36

15. 63 = -9x (divide each side by -9)

-7 = x

16. 6.4 = 0.8x (divide each side by 0.8)

8 = x

17. -2.8z = 4.2 (divide each side by -2.8)

z = -1.5

18. - $\frac{7}{9}$ x = 5 (divide each side by - $\frac{7}{9}$ )

x = $\frac{5}{1}$ ÷ - $\frac{7}{9}$

x = $\frac{5}{1}$ (times) - $\frac{9}{7}$

x = - $\frac{45}{7}$

19. $\frac{1}{2}$ x = 8 (divide each side by $\frac{1}{2}$ )

x = 16

20. - $\frac{3}{4}$ x = 9 (divide each side by - $\frac{3}{4}$ )

x = -12

21. - $\frac{7}{8}$ x = - $\frac{21}{64}$ (divide each side by - $\frac{7}{8}$ )

x = - $\frac{7}{8}$ ÷ - $\frac{21}{64}$

x = - $\frac{7}{8}$ (times) - $\frac{64}{21}$

x = $\frac{448}{168}$ = $\frac{56}{21}$ = $\frac{8}{3}$

22. 1.6x = -3.2 (divide each side by 1.6)

x = -1.6

23. - $\frac{1}{2}$ = - $\frac{5}{18}$ x (divide each side by - $\frac{5}{18}$ )

1.8 = x

24. -2.5x = 20.5 (divide each side by -2.5)

x = -8.2

Attachment mathswatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a) = Slope of line AB = 1/2

<h2><em><u>Perpendicular = -2</u></em></h2>

<h2>b) <em><u>y = -2x + 6</u></em></h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When it is perpendicular the answer will be positive if the initial value is negative. If it is a whole number, then the perpendicular number is going to be a fraction. The opposite applies.

b) Slope = -2x

intercept = ?

y = -2x + b

0 = -6 + b

+6 +6

b = 6

<em><u>y = -2x + 6</u></em>

Write the equation of the line represented by the following table

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

y = 100x + 400

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 400) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 500) ← 2 points from the table

m = $\frac{500-400}{1-0}$ = 100

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 400) ⇒ c = 400

y = 100x + 400 ← equation of line
