equivalent to 5/24 is 15/72 (multiply top and bottom by 3)
answer is d. 15/72
Ignore the decimal places and do 789x38 and you get 29982. Now all you have to do is put the decimal places back. Since 789 was 7.89 it had 2 decimal places and 38 had 1 you have to move 29982 three decimal places to the left making your final answer 29.982.
Answer:
x = ± 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 72 = 0 ( add 72 to both sides )
x² = 72 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ±
= ± 6
ANSWER
The solution is 
EXPLANATION
We want to solve the simultaneous equations

and
.
We substitute equation (2) in to equation (1), to obtain

This has now become a linear equation in a single variable
.
We solve for x by grouping like terms.


We divide through by negative 3 to get;
.
Hence, the solution is
