Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.
5 = 5/1
Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.
5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2
***This can be reduced to 5/1***
Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.
5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3
***This can also be reduced to 5/1***
If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.
They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.
A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
2x + 3y = 13
4x - y = -2
In the second equation, subtract 4x from both sides.
-y = -2 - 4x
Divide both sides by -1.
y = 2 + 4x
Put this into the first equation in place of y.
2x + 3(2 + 4x) = 13
Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.
2x + 6 + 12x = 13
Combine like terms.
14x + 6 = 13
Subtract 6 from both sides.
14x = 7
Divide 14 on both sides.
x = 7 / 14
x = 0.5
Put this into the second equation in place of x.
4(0.5) - y = -2
2 - y = -2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-y = -4
Divide both sides by -1.
y = 4
So x = 0.5 and y = 4.

Answer: 3.5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
3 s + 7 h = 32 s = shoes h= hand grenades
6 s + 2 h = 22 Multiply first equation by -2 and add to second equation to get :
-12 h = -42
h = 3.5 pounds

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 3 ................ (i)
kx + 15y = 9................(ii)
Dividing eqn (ii) by 3, we get,
k/3 x + 5y = 3.............(iii)
Subtracting eqn (iii) by eqn (i), we get,
-4x - k/3 x = 0
or, -(4 - k/3 )x = 0
or, 4 - k/3 = 0/x
or, 4 - k/3 = 0
or, 4 = k/3
or, k = 4*3
:. k = 12 (Ans)
