Ok so first following the order of opperation (P.E.M.D.A.S.)
We have to multiply first so 1/4*4/9 is 4/36
2/3-4/36
We have to get them both to have the same denominator
What times 3 is 36? 12
So multiply 2*12 and 3*12 you get 
24/36-4/36=5/9(simplified)

Solve by using elimination. Express your answer as an ordered pair.
olga55 [171]

Greetings.

The answer is (5,4)

Explanation:

Solving by elimination can be done by adding or subtracting of first and two equation.

Find any terms that make themselves = 0.

And that is the y-term.

Our 2y and -2y. If we add each others, we'd get 0 for y-term.

Therefore, we eliminate the y-term first.

\left \{ {{-x+2y=3} \atop {3x-2y=7}} \right. \\2x=10

If you are wondering how I get 2x = 10 then here's the explanation.

So we simply add/subtract both equations.

We do -x + 3x = 2x

Then +2y - 2y = 0

And 3 + 7 = 10

That's how we get 2x = 10.

Basically Add/Subtract in Vertical way.

2x=10\\x=5

We may get the x-value but we need to know the y-value too.

Therefore, substitute x = 5 into any given equations. I suggest you to substitute the x-value in any equations with less coefficient value.

I'd rather substitute x = 5 in -x+2y = 3.

-x+2y=3

Substitute x = 5 in -x + 2y = 3

-5+2y=3\\2y=3+5\\2y=8\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4

Therefore, when x = 5, y = 4. Since you want the answer in ordered pairs then It's (5,4).

If you add 1/3 of a number to the number itself, you get 16. What is the number?
Klio2033 [76]
Let, the number = x
x/3 + x = 16
x+3x /3 = 16
4x = 16*3
x = 48/4
x = 12

So, the number would be 12

Hope this helps!

A gumball machine has 300 red gumballs. If the red gumballs are 75% of the total number of gumballs, how many gumballs are in th
Arada [10]

Answer:

400 gumballs are in the gumball machine

Step-by-step explanation:

75% = 300 gumballs

Find 1%:

1% = 300 ÷ 75 = 4 gumballs

Find 100%:

100% = 4 x 100 = 400 gumballs.

I hope this helped you! If it did, please consider rating, pressing thanks, and giving my answer 'Brainliest.' Have a great day! :)
