Factor like terms..
(ax + ay) + (3bx + 3by)
= a(x + y) + 3b(x + y)
Finally, group the common factors of x + y and collect the terms to get:
(x + y )(a + 3b)
On the 8th day they will be exactly 5 inches tall
(2,-2)(5,7)
7-(-2)= 9
5-2= 3
9/3= 3
slope = 3
(you could also calculate the slope by just counting up how many units it goes up/down when you pick a point from the x-axis and move left/right. basically counting the rise over run)
1/2 + 1/3 = (3*1)+(2*1) / (2*3) = (3+2)/6 = 5/6
tinha 5/6 de litro
para 1 litro faltam 4/6 de litro
para 3 litros faltam 2 litros e 4/6 de litro ou, simplificando:
4/6 = 2/3, logo, faltam 2 litros e 2/3 de litro.
