Answer: The correct option is (B) 6.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the x co-ordinate of the point of intersection of the following lines.

$3x+5y=78~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\2x-y=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

To find the x co-ordinate of the point of intersection, we need to solve the given system of equation to find the point of intersection.

From equation (ii), we have

$2x=y\\\\\Rightarrow y=2x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of y from equation (iii) in equation (i), we get

$3x+5(2x)=78\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+10x=78\\\\\Rightarrow 13x=78\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{78}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow x=6.$

Thus, the x co-ordinate of the point of intersection of the given lines is 6.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Hello here is a solution :
<span>3x + 5y = 78 .... (1)
2x - y = 0 ... (2)
from (2) : y = 2x
in (1) : 3x+5(2x) =78
13x = 78
x= 6
but : y =2x y=2(6) = 12
answer : x=6</span>

The answers are
f

=
−

and
g

Explanation:
f

I think that the equations speak by themselves.
Of course,

Calculate the product of 8/15, 6/5, and 1/3.

Mariulka [41]

$\frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{5} * \frac{1}{3}$

First, I would multiply the last two fractions because they're smaller and easier to work with:

$\frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{5} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{15}$

Now that we've simplified it, we could multiply these terms and simplify. An easier method, however, would be to cancel out any common factors among the numerators and denominators before multiplying:

$\frac{8}{15} * \frac{6}{15} = \frac{8}{5} * \frac{2}{15}$

We can now multiply these terms:

$\frac{8}{5} * \frac{2}{15} = \frac{16}{75}$

The <span>product of 8/15, 6/5, and 1/3 is B, 16/75.</span>
