Answer:

m = $\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

m - $\frac{m-1}{2}$ = 1 - $\frac{m-2}{3}$

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

6m - 3(m - 1) = 6 - 2(m - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

6m - 3m + 3 = 6 - 2m + 4 , that is

3m + 3 = - 2m + 10 ( add 2m to both sides )

5m + 3 = 10 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5m = 7 ( divide both sides by 5 )

m = $\frac{7}{5}$

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{-1-2}{5--4}\\m=\frac{-3}{9}=-\frac{1}{3}$

How do you factor 7x^{2}+29x+4

Gala2k [10]

When you have a coefficient in front of the "x^2" value, you have to multiply it by the end value (4)

so you want a set of integers that will add up to 29, by multiple to (7 x 4) = 28

The only numbers like that are 28 and 1, they add up to 29 and multiply to 29

Therefore, rewrite it like this 7x^2 + 28x + x + 4

and then factor out the 7x in the first two terms, to get this

7x(x+4) + x + 4, then factor out 1 in the latter two terms to get this:

7x(x+4) +1(x+4), then use grouping to combine what you've got:

The factors are: {{ (7x+1)(x+4) }}

7978 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A02^(-t/hl)

where hl = half-life.

Dividing both sides by A0 and taking the logarithm, we get

ln(A/A0) = -(t/hl)ln2

or solving for t,

t= -(hl)ln(A/A0)/ln2

note that A/A0 = 0.38

t = -(5715 yrs)[ln(0.38)/ln2]

= 7978 years
