No, 7/12 would not be 1/2. seven can go into 14 twice though. So 7/14 = 1/2

We can chang efractions to compare them by multiplying them by 1 or x/x where x=x so

1/2=7/12?
make bottom numbers equal
2 times what=12
divide 2
what=6

1/2 times 6/6=6/12
6/12=7/12
6=7
false

so therefor it does NOT equal 7/12

Answer:

(2,4) is a solution to this system of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation are

$y=2x \hfill (1)$

$y=\frac{-1}{2}x+5\hfill (2)$

To find the solution of the given system of equations

To Check that (2,4) is a solution to this system or not

Solving equations (1) and (2)

From equation (1) and y=2x

Now substitute y=2x is equation (2)

$2x=\frac{-1}{2}x+5$

$\frac{-1}{5}x+5-2x=0$

$5-\frac{x}{2}-2x=0$

$5-\frac{x+4x}{2}=0$

$5-\frac{5x}{2}=0$

$\frac{10-5x}{2}=0$

10-5x=0

-5x=-10

$x=\frac{10}{5}$

Substitute x=2 in equation (1)

y=2x

y=2(2)

Therefore y=4

Therefore the solution is (2,4)

Therefore (2,4) is a solution to the system of equations.

60.3 60.44 witch one is greater

Sindrei [870]

60.44 is greater than 60.3
-you can see this when you subtract 60.3 from 60.44 this would leave a 0.11 which is a positive number.
-thus meaning 60.44 is larger/greater.

Geometry :))), please help me

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two triangles are similar, the ratio between the corresponding lengths of each triangle will be the same.

This means the ratio between one side of each triangle (e.g. AD and DC) will be the same as the ratio between a different side of each triangle (e.g. BE and BC).

So, to create an equation for the sides which contain the unknown 'x', we must first find the ratio between the two sides by using a different set of sides.

On the right side we are given 9 for AD, and 18 for DC.

9/18 = 0.5

This means that the extra length of the larger triangle from the smaller one (AD) is half the length of the smaller triangle (DC). We can use this to make an equation for x:

If AD/DC = 0.5, then BE/EC will also = 0.5

BE = x+23

EC = x+41

Therefore:

$\frac{x+23}{x+41} = 0.5$

Now we can solve by multiplying both sides by x+41 to eliminate the fraction:

$x+23=0.5(x+41)$

Now we multiply out the brackets and move the terms to different sides:

$x+23=0.5x+20.5$

$0.5x = -2.5$

$x = -5$

And if we substitute the -5 into the equations:

-5+23 = 18

-5 + 41 = 36

We will see that -5 does indeed give us the same ratio between the lengths:

18/36 = 0.5

Hope this helped!

1 Two high school basketball teams have identical records of 15 wins and 2 losses. Sunnyside High School's mean score is 50 poin

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Lin likes Sunnyside High School

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is a measure of how dispersed the values are, in this case the score of the teams. So, Sunnyside High School, with a low MAD, scores nearly the same amount of points in every game.

Which is the longest?<br> A. 2 km<br> B. 25 m<br> C. 2,500 cm<br> D. 3,000 mm

Leona [35]

2km=2000m
25m=25m
2500cm=25m
3000mm=3m

Hence the longest is 2km=2000m
