What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

Given that one-sixth of the girls and two-sevenths of the boys in a school marching band are in the percussion section. The percussion section has 6 girls and 10 boys.

Let the total number of girls in the band be y and that of boys x;

Then;

1/6y = 6

y=6 x 6

y= 36

There are 36 girls in the school.

2/7x = 10

2x = 10 x 7

2x = 70

x = 70/2

x=35

Therefore, there are 71 students in the marching band.

Iola has $75. She buys a pair of shoes on sale for one-half off and a pair of socks for $6. She has $32 left. Which equation can be used to find x, the regular price of the shoes?a. x + 6 + 32 = 75
b. x + 6 = 32
c. 1/2x +6+ 32 =75
d. 1/2x +32 =75

Answers

To solve for the problem above, let x be the regular price of the shoe.
1/2x is the one-half price of the shoe then we add 6 for the pair of socks,
1/2x + 6, then lola has 32 left so we add that too, 1/2x + 6 + 32 = 75. The total amount of lola spent is 75 - 32, which is 1/2x + 6.

Take two points to find the slope
Let;s take (1, -3) and (-3, -1)

Point slope formula is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
or
y₂-y₁ = m×(x₂-x₁)  Which is the same thing

m = (-1-(-3))/(-3-1)
    = (2)/(-4) 
It can be simplified:
    = -(1)/(2)
Now we found the slope

Same formula:
y₂-y₁ = m × (x₂-x₁)
Substitute the point only          (1, -3)
y₂-(-3) = -(1)/(2) × (x₂-1)
y₂ + 3 = -(1)/(2) × (x₂ - 1)   (minus minus = plus)

The last option is the answer
