I don't see a b or an m in this function, but generally, a linear function is of the form ax+b. The b in this equation (not sure if it is the same as your b), controls the shift of the function. Lower b by 3, the graph shifts down by 3.
So unless there is a minus sign before b, it has to be lowered by 3. (If there is a minus sign, it has to be increased by 3).
<span>The answer is that 79 IS NOT correct because the riddle says "my ones digit is 2 LESS than my tens digit.." and 79 has 7 in tens and 9 in ones.</span>
Answer:
Exact form: -√19
Decimal form: −4.35889894...
Let's make things easier by simplifying things.
y = 8 and x = 3 is more likely to be understood as a ratio. So for the rest of the answer, their relationship would be represented as y:x
Thus: y:x = 8:3
The problem would be finding y when x = 45
Let us proceed on using the previous equation and substitute x with 45 which would look like this:
y:45 = 8:3
Ratios can also be expressed as fractions which would make things more understandable and easy to solve. So the new form of our equation would be like this:
y/45 = 8/3
Then we proceed with a cross multiplication where the equation becomes like as what is shown below:
3y = 45 * 8
From there, you can solve it by multiplying 45 and 8 then dividing the product with 3 to get y
3y = 360
y = 120
Another way of looking at the problem, especially problems like these, is to take the whole question or statement as an equation. it would probably look like this:
y = 8 when x = 3 : y = ? when x = 45
This would make you understand what approach you can use to solve the given problem.
Answer:
Option D - x = 3 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets make the left side into an improper fraction :
2 2/5 = 12/5
Now let's make both fraction into equivalent ones but with the same denominator :
2/3 = 10/15
12/5 = 36/15
Now we substitute the equivalent values back into the equation :
10/15 × x = 36/15
Now we multiply both sides by 15 to remove the denominators:
10 × x = 36
Now we divide both sides by 10 and simplify :
x = 36/10
x = 18/5
x = 3 3/5
So our answer will be Option D
Hope this helped and brainliest please
