First multiply -3 to -5/3. Giving you -14=5+b. Then subtract 5 from both sides to isolate b. -14+5= -9 so b=-9 which is your y-intercept
I would make both denominators the same, and the lowest one that works is 18. So I'd make 1/9 into 2/18, and 1/6 into 3/18. They already used these times so combine them to make 5/18 then subtract that from the total time they had (18/18) and you would get 13/18 they spent playing music.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 4x - 1 - x =x² + 4x -x - 1 { bring the like terms together and add}
= x² + 3x - 1
