Answer:
- y= -12
- x = 7
- q = -1
- x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
1. ..............................................
- 6(y + 7) = 2(y - 3)
- 6y + 42 = 2y - 6
- 6y - 2y = -6 - 42
- 4y = -48
- y = -12
2...............................................
- 3x + 2(x - 5) = 25
- 3x + 2x - 10 = 25
- 5x = 25 + 10
- 5x = 35
- x = 7
3 . ..............................................
- 10q + 3q + 5 = 2(q - 3)
- 13q + 5 = 2q - 6
- 13q - 2q = -6 - 5
- 11q = -11
- q = -1
4. ..............................................
- 1/3(x + 6) = 2/3(x - 9)
- 3*1/3(x+6) = 3*2/3(x - 9)
- x + 6 = 2(x - 9)
- x + 6 = 2x - 18
- 2x - x = 6 + 18
- x = 24
Trere are two correct answers.That are (-1,-7) and (-6,-14)
Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are exercises to give you practice with
common denominators. For each of these questions, change all
the fractions to common denominators, and the answers jump out at you.
#1). 5/12 = 25/60
2/5 = 24/60
Make um negative, and then you'll have the answer right away.
#2). The one that's negative is obviously the least.
Both positive ones must be bigger than the negative one.
For the positive ones:
2/5 = 6/15
2/3 = 10/15 .
Now it's easy.
#3). This is tough. The least common denominator is 2,520 !
It's probably easier to just do the divisions and get the decimals
for each fraction.
-5/8 = -0.625
-7/9 = -0.777...
-4/5 = -0.8
-3/7 = -0.428...
Now it's easy to line um up.
#4). Sneaky one.
Look closely at each fraction.
B, C, and D are all less than 1, so they're not between 1 and anything more than 1.
8/5 is the only one that's more than 1.
#5). A fraction is just a short way to write a division problem.
When you see a fraction, it means
"the top number divided by the bottom number" .
When you actually do the division, the quotient you get
is the decimal form of the fraction.
To change a decimal into a percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .
The numbers in the boxes at the bottom of #5 are the correct numbers,
but they both should be negative. (because the -3/8 is negative)
