The slope-intercept form is simply the way of writing the equation of a line so that the slope (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the vertical y-axis) are immediately apparent. Often, this form is called y = mx + b form.
Please retype this fraction. If by "---" you mean "subtraction," type 3/7-1/3.
Let's assume that the problem is as follows: (3/7-1/3)(2/3)-1/7;
first, find the LCD of 3/7 and 1/3 and then combine 3/7 and -1/3).
second, multiply your result by (2/3).
third, subtract 1/7 from your result.
If, however, your "---" and "-----" mean "division, then the above is all wrong.
If that's the case, then please retype your whole question.
You could express "the quotient of 2/3 and 1/6" as follows:
2
----
3
------------------------
1
-----
6
Is that what you meant?
Sorry to be picky, but it's very important that you express math properly.
Rate of burn(scented):1/8inch in 1/4h
=4(1/8)inch in 1h=1/2inch in 1h
Rate of burn(unscented):1/9inch in 1/3h=3(1/9)inch in 1h=1/3inch in 1h
The scented candle burns more in one hour.
1/2inch-1/3inch=1/6inch
The scented candle burns 1/6inch more per hour
He increased 30% so that means he can bench press 180lbs
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 6 and y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
AB = x DF = 18
BC = 5 FE = 15
AC = 3 DE = y
Process
1.- Find y
Use proportions to find it
DE/FE = AC/BC
Substitution
y/15 = 3/5
Solve for y
y = 15(3/5)
y = 45/5
y = 9
2.- Find x
AB/DF = BC/FE
Substitution
x/18 = 5/15
Solve for x
x = 18(5/15)
x = 90/15
x = 6
