Clayton says that 2 1/2 + 3 3/5 will be more than 5 but less than 6 since 2 + 3 is 5. Is Clayton’s reasoning correct? Prove him

right or wrong.

He is wrong...

2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20

Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20

solve systems of equation. equation number 1: 9 x squared + 4 y squared equals 144. equation 2: x squared plus y squared equals

grigory [225]

$9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144$
$x^{2} + y^{2}=24$

$9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144$
$4x^{2} + 4y^{2}=96$
by the difference
5 $x^{2}$ =48
so x= $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$ or x=- $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$
and $y^{2}$ =24- $\frac{48}{5}$
then y= $\sqrt{\frac{72}{5}}$ or - $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$
