1\2-2/3 is 1/6.

Here is a quick way of subtracting this fraction and finding the correct answer.

You see 1/2 well you know in order to subtract this fraction there has to be a common denominator. Now with that what is the lowest common multiple between 2 and 3. It is 6. So 1/2 of 6 is 3/6. 1/3 of 6 is 2/6. Now you can do the subtracting.

3/6-2/6 is 1/6

Triangle ABC and triangle DCE are congruent, so line DE = line AB

Use the cosine rule to find angle ACB
$52.2^{2}= 50^{2}+ 70^{2}-(2*50*70*cos(ACB))$
$2724.84=7400-(7000cos(ACB))$
$2724.84-7400=-7000cos(ACB)$
$-4675.16=-7000cos(ACB)$
$\frac{4675.16}{7000}=cos(ACB)$
$Angle ACB= cos^{-1} ( \frac{4675.16}{7000})$
Angle ACB = 48.1°

Solve the following system of equations by the substitution method.

ruslelena [56]

5x = y + 6 (I)
2x - 3y = 4 (II)
-------------------
We have:
5x = y + 6 → $x = \frac{y+6}{5}$

Soon:
2x - 3y = 4 → $2* (\frac{y+6}{5}) - 3y = 4\to \frac{2y+12}{5} - 3y = 4$
<span>least common multiple (5)
</span> $\frac{2y+12}{5} - 3y = 4\to \frac{2y+12}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!5} - \frac{15y}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!5} = \frac{20}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!5}$
$2y + 12 - 15y = 20$
$- 15y + 2y = 20 - 12$
$- 13y = 8$
$\boxed{\boxed{y = - \frac{8}{13} }}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

translated 3 units right and 2 units up. Then it is rotated 270 counterclockwise about the origin resulting in quadrilateral PQR

Daniel [21]

Because the shape is not undergoing a dilation, the perimeter of the original image and the new image is the same. The only thing that is changing is the placement of the original figure.

I hope this helps! :)
