Hi there! To turn a mixed number into a improper fraction we multiply 1 by 3 and add 2. 1 2/3=1×3+2/3=5/3. Therefore, 1 2/3 as an improper fraction is 5/3.
Answer:
(x, y) = (-1, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + y = −7
for y = 1
8x + 1 = -7
subtract 1 from boh sides
8x = -8
divide bot sides by 8
x = -1
(x, y) = (-1, 1)
