First thing First. You must find have a common denominator. If you want to find it then you do this
3: 3 6 9 12 15 18 21
7: 7 14 21 28
Once you found a number they have in common (21) You do this next
3/7 * 3/3 = 9/21
2/3 * 7/7 = 14/21
Now the next thing you do is subtract your numerators but not the denominators
14-9=5
5/12
you cant simplified so your done! Hope this helps!!!! <span />
16 1/2
1/4 of milk is required to make a cupcake. 4x4 would equal 16. the 1/8 is half od whats required to make a cupcake. So you can make 16 1/2 cupcakes.
Given:
2x - 3y = -6 ⇒ identified as 1st equation
x + 2y = 8 ⇒ identified as 2nd equation
Let us first get the value of x using the 2nd equation.
x + 2y = 8
x = 8 - 2y
Substitute x in the 1st equation with its value and find the value of y.
2x - 3y = -6
2(8-2y) - 3y = -6
16 - 4y -3y = -6
-4y - 3y = -6 -16
-7y = - 22
y = -22/-7
y = 22/7 simplified to 3 1/7
Substitute the value of y in the 2nd equation.
x = 8 - 2y
x = 8 - 2(22/7)
x = 8 - 44/7
x = (8 * 7/7) - 44/7
x = 56/7 - 44/7
x = (56-44)/7
x = 12/7 simplified to 1 5/7
To check: x = 12/7 and y = 22/7 *we need to use the improper fractions.
2x - 3y = -6
2(12/7) - 3(22/7) = -6
24/7 - 66/7 = -6
(24-66)/7 = -6
-42/7 = -6
-6 = -6
x + 2y = 8
12/7 + 2(22/7) = 8
12/7 + 44/7 = 8
(12+44)/7 = 8
56/7 = 8
8 = 8
