Answer (depending if the fraction is positive or negative):
- x ≥ 18
- x ≤ -18
Step-by-step explanation:
If the fraction is positive:
- Write it out:
- Multiply each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≥ 18
If the fraction is negative:
- Write it out:
- Multiply each side by -6 to cancel out the -6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≤ -18
I hope this helps!
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
For the first tree
let the expression for the height be
y=4+x--------------1
where y= the total height
4= the initial height
x= the number of years
For the second tree, the expression is
y=12+0.5x-------------2
Equate 1 and 2
4+x=12+0.5x
x-0.5x=12-4
0.5x= 8
x= 8/0.5
x=16
Hence it will take 16 years for both trees to have the same height
Combining those like terms would end as 3n.
Explanation: The end of a subtraction equation is basically just the negative number, except you add it to the other part.
For example, 2n is really -2n, and you just add -2n to 5n (which is positive,) and you get 3n.
Since slope intercept is y=mx+b, you first want to get rid of the 2x by subtracting it from both sides. after, you should end up with 4y=16-2x or 4y=-2x+16, they both are the same, but some teachers might prefer the slope first. after that, you want to get the y alone, so you divide everything by 4. you should end up with the slope intercept form being y=-2/4x+4, simplified to y=-1/2x+4.
