The horizontal line has an equation: y = a, where a is any real number.
We know, the line passes through the point (-8, -7) → x = -8, y = -7.
<h3>Answer: y = -7</h3>
I believe the answer is “A”
Answer:
-21 over 24 should be equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
Equivalent fractions are simple. To find an equivalent fraction simply multiply the denominator AND the numerator by any natural number other than 1 (a natural number is any number greater than zero, numbers that ARE zero or less AREN'T natural numbers i.e. 0, -1, -2, -3, you get the point)
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
15-2x=3x
Add 2x to both sides
15=5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
3=x
Hope it helps (:
