It is not necessary to have a common denominator when you multiply two fractions

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The statement is about the relationship between the denominator of fractions when they are multiplied

Take for instance, we have the following fractions

a/b and x/y

In the above fractions, we have

Numerator = a and x

Denominator = b and y

Where b and y do not have the same value

When they are multiplied, we have

Product = ax/by

The denominators do not have the same value

And we were able to calculate the product

This means that the fraction denominator do not have to be common

Renata and david want to cover the walls in one room of their house with wall paper.

For this case we have the following variables:
P = area covered by a roll of wallpaper
w = the total area of the walls
n = number of rolls to buy
We write the equation for n.
You must take into account that you can determine this amount by dividing the total area between the area covered by each roll of paper.
We have then:
$n = w / P
$
Answer:
a formula that will help them determine how much wall paper they'll need to purchase is:
$n = w / P$

Multiply first equaton by -1 and add to first

-2x+y=7
<u>4x-y=-4 +</u>
2x+0y=3

2x=3
divide 2
x=3/2

sub
2x-y=-7
2(3/2)-y=-7
3-y=-7
minus 3
-y=-10
negative 1 times both sides
y=10
