Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying Equation A by (1/3) and adding the result to Equation B will do the trick. Let's actually solve the problem!
Equation A: (5/3)x + 3y = 12
Equation B: 4x - 3y = 8
---------------------------
(5/3 + 12/3)x = 15 Note how this has eliminated the variable
(17/3)x = 15 y.
x = (3/17)(15)
Answer:
yes they are
Step-by-step explanation:
because the metric system is the same

To check this yourself, you need the denominators to be the same to be able to easily compare the two.
For example, does 5/8 = 40/64?
1. Determine what you would need to do to the denominator in 5/8 to make it 64. (Multiply it by 8)
2. Find what fraction is equal to 1 with a denominator of 8. (8/8)
3. Multiply the fraction 5/8 by the one you just found (8/8), numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
4. Compare the answer with the second fraction.
It is important that when you multiply the denominator by any number you multiply the numerator by the same number. This is to preserve the fraction's value. This works because any number divided by itself is equal to 1, AND when you multiply any number by 1 (whether 1 is in the form of 1 or 4/4 or 8/8 or 234/234), the answer is always equal to the original number.
Another way to check would be to simply enter 1/2 into a calculator, write down the answer. Next enter 5/8 into a calculator. If the answers are the same, they are equal.</span><span>

Answer:
m<A = 30 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
m < C in triangle ABC = m < C in EDC so
x + 13 + 42 + x + 13 = 180
2x = 180 - 13 - 13 - 42
2x = 112
x = 56.
So m < C = 56+13 = 69.
m < B = m < D = 81
M < A = 180 - 69 - 81
= 180 - 150 = 30.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In Δ AFB,
∠AFB + ∠ABF + ∠A = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}
90 + 48 + ∠1 = 180
138 + ∠1 = 180
∠1 = 180 - 138
∠1 = 42°
FC // ED and FD is transversal
So, ∠CFD ≅∠EDF {Alternate interior angles are congruent}
∠2 = 39°
In ΔFCD,
∠2 + ∠3 + ∠FCD = 180
39 + ∠3 + 90 = 180
129 +∠3 = 180
∠3 = 180- 129
∠3 = 51°
