When dividing fractions, flip the 2nd one around and then multiply across:
a) 3/11 / 3/11 = 3/11 x 11/3 = 33/33 = 1
b) 9/10 / 3/5 = 9/10 x 5/3 = 45/30 = 1 15/30 = 1 1/2
The answer is -3/7........................................
Answer:
The solution of the system is (5, 20).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x and 3x + 2y = 55 are simultaneous equations. To find the unknowns, we have to solve these equations simultaneously.
The first can be rewritten as
4x – y = 0.
Therefore, we have:
4x – y = 0
3x + 2y = 55
Multiplying the first equation by 2 all through, we have
8x – 2y = 0.
So we can now combine the second equation with the first multiplied by 2.
8x – 2y = 0
3x + 2y = 55
Adding these equations we have:
11x = 55
Divide both sides by 11 and we have
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 in equation 1, we have
4(5) – y = 0
y = 20.
Therefore, x = 5 and y = 20.
The solution of the system is (5, 20).
Do you have a picture of the triangles? I would be happy to help if I could see them!
