This is done by factoring. 1/8 is smaller than 1/2, so we can factor a 1/8 out of 1/2. This is what that looks like:
, because factoring after all is a form of division. When we divide a fraction by a fraction, we bring the lower fraction up and flip it to multiply, giving us this:
. This of course reduces to 4. So when we factor out 1/8, what we will have then is
, choice D from above.
Answer:
A. -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Down 3 over Two.
Answer:
A and F
Step-by-step explanation:
first figure out the slope.
4-(-5)/2-(-3)= 9/5
slope: 9/5
y-y1=m(x-x1)
you substitute either coordinate for the second variables. we automatically take out any slopes that have a negative because the slope is positive.
C, D, E all have negative slopes so it is wrong.
B does not work because a negative times a negative is a positive. the equation shows it to be negative so it is wrong.
A & F fit the solution.
Answer:
16x - 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the full equation:
5(8x - 3) +4(-6x - 4)
Distribute:
40x - 15 - 24x - 16
Combine Like Terms:
16x - 15 - 16
Your answer is:
16x - 31
I believe that the answer is A
