Answer:

The value of y is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the system of equation:

x + y = 24

5y = x

First, plug in 5y for x in the first equation:

x + y = 24

(5y) + y = 24

Simplify. Combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same amount of the same variable:

(5y + y) = 24

(6y) = 24

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 6 from both sides of the equation:

(6y)/6 = (24)/6

y = 24/6 = 4

Now, plug in 4 for y in one of the given equations in the system of equation:

x + y = 24

x + (4) = 24

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4 from both sides of the answer:

x + 4 = 24

x + 4 (-4) = 24 (-4)

x = 24 - 4

x = 20

x = 20 , y = 4

Check. Use the other equation. Plug in 4 for y, and 20 for x:

5y = x

5(4) = (20)

5 * 4 = 20

20 = 20 (True)

The value of y is 4.

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}$

$=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}$

join $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}$

$=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}$

$=-\frac{12}{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a$

$=-12$

Therefore

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square?

Shalnov [3]

Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.

$(x+7)^2$

We can distribute this expression to get $x^2+14x+49$ .

An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.

Now, if we wanted to add a number to $x^2+16x$ to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.

Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is $\boxed{64}$
