X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60
4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20
x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5
Answer:
14/20 or .7 or 70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Number of cards: 20
Number of Red cards: 6
The leftover cards: 20 -6 = 14
The probability of not getting a red = 14/20
14/20 as a decimal = 14/20 = 70/100 = .7
14/20 as a percent = 14/20 = 70/100 = 70%
If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.
9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000
If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.
If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then
1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…
Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…
999<em>x</em> = 9512
<em>x</em> = 9512/999
If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like
9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…
then the number would be irrational.
y-intercept -3
slope 1/2
is sufficient info with which to write an equation for a straight line:
y = mx + b becomes y = (1/2)x - 3.
You should check this by determining whether or not (2,-1) satisfies this equation.
