<h3>Answer:  1.8x - 4</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the two expressions

Tomas - Angie = (3x) - (1.2x+4) = 3x - 1.2x-4 = 1.8x-4

This represents how many more miles Tomas jogged compared to Angie.

-------------

A more concrete example would be to say hypothetically

Tomas = 10 miles

Angie = 4 miles

So Tomas - Angie = 10-4 = 6 means he jogged 6 more miles than Angie.

That's why we subtracted. The order of subtraction matters. Saying 10-4 is different from 4-10.

What +2/3=11/12 equation
Luden [163]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1st: you need to make a common denominator for 2/3 and 11/12 that would be 12, so you would  keep 11/12 how it is but multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4 to get it to 12.

You would have ;

8/12+___=11/12

Then just do 11/12-8/12

so that would simplify out to 1/4

Every even number,except 2,is composite
Degger [83]
Yes. That's correct. Is that what you're asking...? To clarify, prime numbers have a single factor (one and itself) , composite numbers have multiple factors.

What is the solution to this system of equations?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations express y in terms of x we can equate the right sides

3x + 5 = - x + 3 ( add x to both sides )

4x + 5 = 3 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

4x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = - 0.5

substitute x = - 0.5 in either of the 2 equations

using y = - x + 3 then y = 0.5 + 3 = 3.5

solution is (- 0.5, 3.5 ) → c

Strike441 [17]

Answer: y = -\frac{4}{3}x^{2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y = ax² ; where a represents the vertical stretch

a reflection across the x-axis is represented by making the a-value negative.

Write 9x-3y=-69 x − 3 y = − 6 in slope-intercept form. Make sure you show all steps and inverse operations.Write 9x-3y=-69 x − 3
Goryan [66]

Answer:

y = 3x + 23 and

y = \frac{1}{3}x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is 9x - 3y = - 69 and we have to write it in slope-intercept form.

Now, 9x - 3y = - 69

⇒ 3x - y = - 23 {Dividing both sides by 3}

⇒ 3x + 23 = y

⇒ y = 3x + 23 {Interchanging the sides} (Answer)

The second equation is x - 3y = - 6 and we have to write it in slope-intercept form.

Now, x - 3y = - 6

⇒ x + 6 = 3y

⇒ 3y = x + 6 {Interchanging the sides}

⇒ y = \frac{1}{3}(x + 6) {Dividing both sides by 3}

⇒ y = \frac{1}{3}x + 2 (Answer)
