72, the sentence is 82 - 10 = 72
So it seems as if the first problem is asking this:
.
If x=0.15, then 11/15*(0.15) is 0.11 or 11/100.
The second problem is asking:
To solve algebraically, you want to get rid of the denominators under the x's. To do so, you want to multiply by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. For 3 and 4, the LCM is 12. Multiply everything by 12 to get:
3x+6=4x+2
Now, solve for x
Subtract 4x from both sides:
-x+6=2
Subtract 6 from both sides:
-x=-4
Multiply by -1 on both sides:
x=4.
Answer:
12 & 7
Step-by-step explanation:
12 + 7=19
12 - 7=5
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
y = - bx
substitute y = 6 , x = 1 into the equation
6 = a - b → (1)
substitute y = 0 , x = 2 into the equation
0 = - 2b ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )
0 = a - 4b → (2)
multiply (1) by - 4
- 24 = - 4a + 4b → (3)
add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate b
- 24 = - 3a + 0
- 24 = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )
8 = a
substitute a = 8 into (1) and solve for b
6 = 8 - b ( subtract 8 from both sides )
- 2 = - b ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
2 = b
Then a = 8 and b = 2
(b)
when x = 4
y = - 2(2) = 2 - 4 = - 2
