To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
(-36x^4y+144x²y^6) / (-4x²y) =
36xy*(x³+4xy^5) / (-4x²y) =
-9*(x³+4xy^5) / x
4 / (1/4 - 5/2)
4 / (1/4 -10/4)
4 / (-9/4)
4 x (-4/9) = -16/9
I think
Step-by-step explanation:
12.5 since it decreases 10% and the old bag had 14 cups and 10% is 1.4
