Answer:

11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

If your answering in fraction and not in decimal this is how you do it:

1. Get rid of the brackets surrounding -11/10. You do this by multiplying the positive sign (+) by the negative sign (-) in front of 11. Now the rule says that multiplying a positive with a negative always gives you a negative therefore your fraction in the brackets will remain negative while removing the plus sign. Now your problem should look like this: 11/8-11/10.

2. Finding the common multiple of the denominators. You can't just minus the fractions unless the denominators are the same. To do this you first have to find the lowest common multiple (lcm) of denominators 8 and 10. You can list 5 multiples for each to find this or more depending on how many multiples you need to reach the lcm.

8= 8,16,24,32,40,48,etc.

10=10,20,30,40,50,etc.

The lcm for 8 and 10 is 40.

3. Change the fractions to substitute the new value of the denominators in. To do this you have to multiply the fractions. For example, multiply 11/8 by 5/5 to get 55/40(11×5/8×5). Do the same for the second fraction: 11/10×4/4(11×4/10×4) which gives 44/40.

4. Now finally just minus which is just 55/40-44/40 and your answer will be 11/40. Minus the numerators only not the denominators.

I'm not really good at explaining but I hope this helped

0.275 is the answer

-11/10=-1.1

11/8=1.375

1.375 + (-1.1) = 0.275

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the c

Irina18 [472]

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular. [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is $Y=\dfrac12 X-6$ .

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope = $\dfrac12$

Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then

$n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1$ [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

$\Rightarrow n=-2$

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

$(y-b)=m(x-a)$

Equation of LG :

$(y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9$ [In intercept form]

Which pair of undefined terms is used to define a ray?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A point and a line.

Further explanation:

Ray is part of the line with one endpoint. Ray is an endless straight path in one direction from a starting point, e.g., .

The arrow above the point shows the direction of the longitudinal beam. The length of the ray cannot be calculated.

Undefined terms are basic figure that is not defined in terms of other figures. The undefined terms (or primitive terms) in geometry are a point, line, and plane.

These key terms cannot be mathematically defined using other known words.

A point represents a location and has no dimension (size). It is labeled with a capital letter and a dot.

A line is an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions that have only one dimension. It has one dimension. It is a straight path and no thickness.

A plane is a flat surface that contains many points and lines. A plane extends infinitely in all four directions. It is two-dimensional. Three noncollinear points determine a plane, as there is exactly one plane that can go through these points.

Help please my moms going to kill me if I don’t get this right

iragen [17]

Answer:

$x=-\frac{41}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pay attention to the two tick marks. This indicates that those sides are congruent to each other and so will the angles on the bottom and top. Therefore, we can set up the equation $137+2(-3x+1)=180$ and solve for x:

$137+2(-3x+1)=180$

$137+(-6x+2)=180$

$137-6x+2=180$

$139-6x=180$

$-6x=41$

$x=-\frac{41}{6}$

I need help plz<br> 99 points waiting for the person that answers the question

amid [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is from a website so you might have to rephrase it but Direct variation describes a simple relationship between two variables . We say y varies directly with x (or as x , in some textbooks) if:

y=kx

for some constant k , called the constant of variation or constant of proportionality . (Some textbooks describe direct variation by saying " y varies directly as x ", " y varies proportionally as x ", or " y is directly proportional to x .")

This means that as x increases, y increases and as x decreases, y decreases—and that the ratio between them always stays the same.

The graph of the direct variation equation is a straight line through the origin.
