-4=-1b-(1/3)b
-4=-(4/3)b
-4/-(4/3)=b
b=3
-------------------------------
(1/2)3+(5/3)2
3/6+10/6=13/6
-23/3=13/6a
(-23/3)/(13/6)=a
a=-46/13
5 1/4 - 2 2/3
first you find the LCM, so u can make both fractions have a like denominator. I'm thinking the LCM is 12, so:
(5 3/12) - (2 8/12)
= 63/12 - 32/12
=31/12
= 2 and 7/12
5 1/4 - 2 2/3 = 2 7/12
The answer is c. y=x-2 i believe
Yes, it is a linear equation.
