Yes, in simplest form, both fractions are 1/3 (one over three)
-2x - 4y = 1
<u>12y</u> = <u>-6x - 3</u>
12 12
y = -0.5x - 0.25
-2x - 4(-0.5x - 0.25) = 1
-2x + 2x + 1 = 1
0x + 1 = 1
<u> - 1 - 1</u>
<u>0x</u> = <u>0</u>
0 0
x = 0
-2(0) - 4y = 1
0 - 4y = 1
<u>-4y</u> = <u>1</u>
-4 -4
y = -0.25
(x, y) = (0,-0.25)
Answer:
Part A:
Since Jasmine has more cousins rhan Brenda, who has 4 cousins, then the amount of cousins that Jasmine has (j) is greater than 4 so j > 4
Part B:
We have a number line and we draw an arrow starting from 4 and going to the right.
Hope this helped!
