Answer:
x = -45, y = -40
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the first clue, we find out that
x + 5 = y
5x = 6y + 15
We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.
Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15
This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15
We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;
5y - 6y = 15 + 25
Therefore, -y = 40
Therefore y = -40.
Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x + 5 = -40
x=-45
It's 6!
When you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, you will have an equivalent to the fraction you started with because the new fraction can be reduced to the original fraction.
2/3 = 4/6 = 6/9 = 8/12 = 10/15 = 12/15 etc.
Answer:
4.5 x 0.85 = 3.825
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The equation is
To find:
The value of b.
Solution:
We have,
Subtracting both sides by 
, we get
Therefore, the value of b is 
.
A) 2 units
B) yes
For A) |5-3|=|2|=2 is the distance from his house to school.
For B)
The distance from his house to school is 2 units; the distance from school to the grocery store is |3--9|=|12|=12. The total distance is 2+12 = 14.
The distance from his house to school is 2 units; the distance from school to the community center is |-4-6|=|-10|=10. The total distance is 2+10 = 12.
The distance from the house to the school to the grocery store is greater.
