The greatest common factor is 2a
Answer: (3.5,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, all we have to do is plug in y=-2 into either equations from step one to find the coordinate. To make sure we have the right x-coordinate, let's plug in y for both equations.
4x-7y=28 [plug in y=-2]
4x-7(-2)=28 [multiply]
4x+14=28 [subtract both sides by 14]
4x=14 [divide both sides by 4]
x=3.5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6x-5y=31 [plug in y=-2]
6x-5(-2)=31 [multiply]
6x+10=31 [subtract both sides by 10]
6x=21 [divide both sides by 6]
x=3.5
Now, we know the solution to the system is (3.5,-2).
Let l and l-6 be the length and width, respectively, of the rectangle. Then:
l(l-6)=40
l²-6l-40=0
(l-10)(l+4)=0
l=10,-4
The rectangle is 10" by 4". ☺☺☺☺
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way for me to do this is to either make all of the fractions into decimals or all the decimals into fractions, whatever you prefer. I prefer fractions, but for typing reasons I’m going to make them all decimals. Making 5/48 into a decimal you divide 5 by 48 and get 0.104... and divide 3 by 16 and get 0.1875. Then from there, look at whatever tenths place number is the least (the number after the decimal). Two of them have one, so moving onto the next number, 8>0, which means 0.104 is less then 0.1875. Then 5<7. So from least to greatest, 5/48 (0.104), 3/16 (0.1875), 0.5, 0.75.
Good Luck!
