We know that the number's opposite is 5. In this context, the opposite means the negative of the given number. Since the number's opposite is 5, the number itself must be -5. This is consistent with the second piece of information, since the absolute value of a number is its distance to 0 and the absolute value of -5 is 5.
Answer:
10 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would do.
9+2/3+5/6
2/3=4/6
9+4/6+5/6
9+9/6=3/2
9+1 1/2
=10 1/2
Answer:
1/15
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You can divide 1/3 by 5 by changing the division symbol to its reciprocal, multiplication, and also divide by the reciprocal of the number after the symbol, 5. The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.
2. Now you can do 1/3 multiplied by 1/5. Multiply the numerators by the denominators. The numerators are 1 and 1, so you multiply 1 by 1 which equals 1. Now you multiply the denominators, 3 and 5, which is equal to 15. If the numerator is now 1, and the denominator is 15, the new fraction is 1/15, getting you to your answer
1) 2x + 3y = 12 -> 3y = -2x +12 -> y = -2/3x + 4
2) 4y - 7x = 16 -> 4y = 7x + 16 -> y = 7/4x + 4
