Your 2nd option is the correct answer because 7 goes into both.
First, you would multiply: -13 = 70m - 2m. Then, you subtract the like terms, which would be 70m - 2m: -13 = 68m. You are looking for what m is, so you would divide 68 on both sides: m = - 13 / 68. In math, people would usually like fractions more than decimals, but if you are looking for the decimal number, it would be m ≈ - 0.19.
Answer:
1 : 3
Step-by-step explanation:
pears : apples = 3 : 9 = 1 : 3
___
A common factor of 3 can be removed from each number in the ratio to reduce it to lowest terms.
Answer:


or

Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to see if the exponential curve is of the form:
, (
).
If you are given the
intercept, then
is easy to find.
It is just the
coordinate of the
intercept is your value for
.
(Why? The
intercept happens when
. Replacing
with 0 gives
. This says when
.)
So
.
So our function so far looks like this:

Now to find
we need another point. We have two more points. So we will find
using one of them and verify for our resulting equation works for the other.
Let's do this.
We are given
is a point on our curve.
So when
,
.


Divide both sides by 8:

Reduce the fraction:

So the equation if it works out for the other point given is:

Let's try it. So the last point given that we need to satisfy is
.
This says when
,
.
Let's replace
with 2 and see what we get for
:






So we are good. We have found an equation satisfying all 3 points given.
The equation is
.
