2x+x=105
3x=105
The answer is A
Well you need to find a common denominator which 30 is the closest one. 5/6 becomes 25/30, 9/10 becomes 27/30. 27/30+ 25/30 = 52/30. To simplify that you divide by 2 to get 26/15. It is no longer divisible to a whole number after that point.
Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Answer:
-1/4 (2x - 5y)
Step-by-step explanation:
For us to factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y
We will have to multiply the values in bracket by the reciprocal of -1/4 i.e -4 as shown
-1/2x - 5/4 y
= -1/4 (-4(-1/2x) - (-4)(-5/4y))
= -1/4 (4/2 x - 20/4 y)
= -1/4 (2x - 5y)
Hence the factored expression is -1/4 (2x - 5y)
