Reciprocals are simply fractions that are turned upside down. For example, what do you think is the reciprocal of 2/3? Right, it's 3/2. It can also be 1 1/2 because 3/2 is an improper fraction. :)

<span>The reciprocal is shown as 1/x, or x-1. When we multiply a number by its reciprocalwe get 1. Example: 3 times 1/3 equals 1. Also called the "Multiplicative Inverse" See: Multiplicative Inverse.</span>

-9.b = 45<br> b =<br> What is the answer I need to know the answe
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

b=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide by -9 to eliminate the -9 on -9b

(Since -9b is the same thing as -9 times b we can use the inverse of multiplication which is division to eliminate the -9 from b but we need to do it on both sides to make it balance)

-9b/-9=45/-9

b=-5

How many diagonals can you draw from the vertex of an octagon
ludmilkaskok [199]
From one vertex of an octagon you can draw 5 diagonals.

There are 8 vertices in an octagon, and we are choosing one as our starting vertex. There are then 7 vertices left to draw a line to, but 2 of the vertices are already connected to our main vertex (because they are connected along the side of the octagon). That leaves 5 vertices to draw a diagonal to from our original vertex.
