Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then proceed,
Answer:
x = 75 and y = -72
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
1/5 x + 1/8 y = 1 ------(1)
1/2 x − 1/3 y = 1 -------(2)
<u>To find the solutions of the system of equations</u>
Step 1: eq(1) * 5 ⇒
x + 5/8y = 5 ----(3)
Step 2: eq(2) * 2 ⇒
x - 2/3y = 2 -----(4)
Step 3: eq(3) - eq(4) ⇒
x + 5/8y = 5 ----(3)
<u>x - 2/3y = 2 -</u>----(4)
0 +(5/8 - 2/3)y = 3
-1/24 y = 3
y = -24*3 = -72
Step 4: Substitute the value of y in eq(1)
1/5 x + 1/8 y = 1 ------(1)
1/5 x + 1/8 (-72) = 1 ------(1)
1/5 x - 24 = 1
1/5 x = 25
x = 5*25 = 75
Therefor x = 75 and y = -72
Answer:
the answer is 3/4
Step-by-step explanation: 6/8 divided by 2 is 3/4
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2,600
Explanation:
Your first step is to find 7% of 4000 ( this is what it is decreasing by per year).
As a result you end up with 280.
Multiply 280 by 5.
1,400 should be your answer( amount of km decreasing after 5 years). This is a decreasing forest, so you subtract 4,000by 1,400.
