as long as you get 5 for an answer, can be anything
10-5
3 (2 x 8)
This shows that you start with three grape fruits and by dividing them eat into half, you are creating six total pieces which would be 3×2.
Each of these pieces has eight segments, so that would be eight groups of six.
1. You times 2.5 by 10 (because there is 1 decimal point) which then equals 25/10.
2. Then you reduce 25/10 by 5, so it will be in simples form. And your answer is 5/2!
Hope this helped and Good Luck! :D
The answer is 7/8 find a common denominator or cross multiply
Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
