I think that the sum will always be a rational number
let's prove that


<span>any rational number can be represented as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

</span>and an integer is the counting numbers plus their negatives and 0
so like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....

<span>so, 2 rational numbers can be represented as

</span>a/b and c/d (where a,b,c,d are all integers and b≠0 and d≠0)

their sum is
a/b+c/d=
ad/bd+bc/bd=
(ad+bc)/bd

1. the numerator and denominator will be integers
2. that the denominator does not equal 0

alright
1.
we started with that they are all integers
ab+bc=?
if we multiply any 2 integers, we get an integer
<span>like 3*4=12 or -3*4=-12 or -3*-4=12, etc.
</span>even 0*4=0, that's an integer
the sum of any 2 integers is an integer
like 4+3=7, 3+(-4)=-1, 3+0=3, etc.
so we have established that the numerator is an integer

now the denominator
that is just a product of 2 integers so it is an integer


<span>2. we originally defined that b≠0 and d≠0 so we're good

</span>therefore, the sum of any 2 rational numbers will always be a rational number <span>is the correct answer.</span>

Two times x is 8 more than y. The sum of x and two times y is 14. Write two equations and graph to find the value of y.
Sauron [17]

Option B: $y=4$ is the value of y

Explanation:

It is given that "Two times x is 8 more than y". Writing it as expression, we have,

2x=8+y

It is also given that "The sum of x and two times y is 14". Writing it as expression, we have,

x+2y=14

To find the value of y, let us solve the two equations using substitution method.

From the equation 2x=8+y , let us find the value of x.

x=\frac{8+y}{2}

x=\frac{8}{2} +\frac{y}{2}

x=4+\frac{y}{2}

Now, substituting x=4+\frac{y}{2} in the equation x+2y=14 , we get,

4+\frac{y}{2}+2y=14

      4+\frac{5y}{2} =14

            $\frac{5 y}{2}=10$

            5y=20

              $y=4$

Thus, the value of y is $y=4$
