<span>7r²+9=1
</span><span>the equation is contradictory, just to prove
7r</span>² + 9 = 1
7r² + 9 -1 = 0
7r² + 8 = 0
<span>We write the equation in the form of products of
</span>
7 * (r² + 8/7) = 0
<span>the product is equal to 0 when one of the factors is zero
</span>
7≠0 ∨ (r² + 8/7) = 0
r² ≠ - 8/7
<span>any number squared is not negative.
</span><span>We proved that none of the factors is not equal to zero , so the right side of the equation is not equal to the left . The equation is contradictory</span>
The amount of pounds of vegetable needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds is 3 3 / 8 pounds
<h3>How to solve fractions?</h3>
The amount of pounds of vegetable needed to make the stew exactly 10 pounds can be calculated as follows:
potatoes weight = 2 7 / 8 pounds = 23 / 8 pounds
green beans weight = 1 1 / 4 = 5 / 4 pounds
pepper weight = 2 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 pounds
Therefore,
weight needed = 10 - 23 / 8 - 5 / 4 - 5 / 2
weight needed = 80 - 23 - 10 - 20 / 8
weight needed = 80 - 53 / 8
weight needed = 27 / 8
weight needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds = 3 3 / 8 pounds
