Answer:

-1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change both fractions to have like denominators. The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18.

Second, you have to multiply -1/2 by 9/9 to get a denominator of 18. -1/2 x 9/9 is - 9/18.

Third, you have to multiply 4/9 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 18. 4/9 x 2/2 = 8/18.

Fourth, -9/18 + 8/18 = -1/18

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Each cupcake cost $2.50 and each brownie cost $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of each cupcake and let y represent the price of each brownie.

Lily and Maddie bought one cupcake and one brownie for $4.50. Hence the equation is:

x + y = 4.50 (1)

Also Jessica purchased 3 cupcakes and one brownie for $9.50. Hence the equation is given by:

3x + y = 9.50 (2)

To find the price of each cupcake and brownie, we solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously. To find x, subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

2x = 5

x = $2.50

Put x = $2.50 in equation (1):

2.50 + y = 4.50

y = $2.00

Therefore each cupcake cost $2.50 and each brownie cost $2.00

Solve by factoring...<br><br> 1) y=6x^2-13x-5<br><br> 2) y=4x^2-7x+3

Amanda [17]

Answer:

1) $x=-\frac{1}{3}, x=\frac{5}{2}$

2) $x=1, x=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(y)= 6x^{2} -13x-5=0$

Equating above equation.

$6x^{2} +2x-15-5=0$

$2x(3x+1)-5(3x+1)=0$

$(3x+1)(2x-5)=0$

Solving for both the equation

$3x+1=0$

$3x=-1$

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

$2x-5=0$

$2x=5$

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

$x=-\frac{1}{3} ,x=\frac{5}{2}$

Given

$f(y)=4x^{2} -7x+3=0$

$4x^{2} -4x-3x+3=0$

$4x(x-1)-3(x-1)=0$

$(x-1)(4x-3)=0$

Solving for both equation

$x-1=0$

$x=1$

$4x-3=0$

$4x=3$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

$x=1, x=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi (Ratio of the Circumference of a Circle to Its Diameter) Circles are all similar, and "the circumference divided by the diameter" produces the same value regardless of their radius. This value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is called π (Pi).
