Compatible numbers are numbers which are easy to do mental calculation. For example is when doing division like 25 and 5, 100 and 10, and 36 and 6.

First, we know that: 7 pounds=5 pounds + 2 pounds

                                or 7=5+2

In mathematics, the word “of” means to multiply. So:

                                grapes given away = 7  * (2/5)

Replacing 7 with 5 and 2:

                                                                = (5+2)*(2/5)

Using the distribution principle:

                                                =5*(2/5) + 2*(2/5)

                                                =2+ 4/5

                                =2 4/5

So grapes given away is 2 4/5 pounds.

<span>2/5 is close to 1/2, and it is easy to find 1/2 of 7 mentally. Half of 7 is 3.5, so Martin gave away about 3.5 pounds.</span>

A line passes through (-1,7) and (2,10) which answer is the equation of the line
alekssr [168]

Answer: -x + y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you are going to want to find the slope of the equation. The equation for that it (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (10 - 7)/(2 - -1) and that equals 1. So your slope will be 1.

Now you have half of your equation complete, currently it looks like, y = x + b. So we have to find the y intercept. You can do that by plugging in a pair of coordinates into the current equation and solve for b.

Lets plug in (2,10)

10 = 2 + b

10 - 2 = b

b = 8

So now you have your equation in slope intercept form, y = x + 8. Just move the x over to the left side and there is your answer.

-x + y = 8
