I would start by removing fraction
Multiply both sides by 6
5/6x * 6 = 15 * 6
5x = 90
Now divide by 5

Solution: x = 18

9 3 -3/4 -10 1/2 -1.75 least to greatest

Mazyrski [523]

-10, -1.75, -3/4, 1/2, 3, 9

_____________________________

-3/4 converts to -0.75,

and 1/2 converts to 0.5. With -10 being farthest from zero on the number line, it would be the smallest. -1.75 would be the second smallest. Keeping in mind that -3/4 converts to -0.75, it would be the 3rd smallest. 1/2, or 0.5 would be greater, as it is the smallest POSITIVE number. Then you do 3, as it as a whole number, but still not the greatest. 9 would be the greatest.

hope i was helpful;-)

Slove the simoltanous equation by using substitution or elimination method 5x-3y=1 3x+2y=1<br>

xxTIMURxx [149]

<u>By substitution method </u>

5x - 3y =1

3x + 2y = 1

_____o____o____

$5x - 3y = 1 \\ 5x = 1 + 3y \\ x = \frac{1 + 3y}{5}$

______o____o_____

$3x + 2y = 1 \\ 3( \frac{1 + 3y}{5} ) + 2y = 1 \\ \frac{3 + 9y}{5} + 2y = 1 \\ \frac{3 +9y + 10y}{5} = 1 \\ \frac{3 + 19y}{5} = 1 \\ 3 + 19y = (1)(5) \\ 3 + 19y = 5 \\ 19y = 5 - 3 \\ 19y = 2 \\ y = \frac{2}{19}$

______o_____o____

$x = \frac{1 + 3y}{5} = \frac{1 + 3 \frac{2}{19} }{5} \\ x = \frac{1 + \frac{6}{19} }{5} = \frac{ \frac{19 + 6}{19} }{5} = \frac{ \frac{25}{19} }{5} \\ x = \frac{25}{19} \div 5 \\ x = \frac{25}{19} \times \frac{1}{5} \\ x = \frac{5}{19}$

I hope I helped you^_^

Help! Directions too please!:)

NISA [10]

Slope of function B is "rising" 3 and going over to the right by 1. Representing the slope as 3/1 = 3.

Slope of function A is already giving. If you multiply the slope of function B by 2, it will equal the slope of Function A

A cylinder has a base diameter of 16 inches and a height of 18inches. What is the volume in cubic inches, of the nearest tenths

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

3619.11 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cylinder is $V=\pi r^2h$

diameter is 16 in, so radius (r) is 8 in

plug in values: $V=\pi 8^2(18) = 3619.11$ cubic inches
