8/5 or 1.6 you just need to find the rise over the run
Ten x plus four divided by seven
The error is that 9 shouldnt be written as nine it should be written as 3x3 or 3^2. So the answer should be 2^3 x 3^2 because 9 can be divided into even more prime factors of 72.
Answer:
(x, y) = (4, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the second equation to write an expression for y.
y = 10 - 1/4x . . . . subtract 1/4x from the given 2nd equation
Now, substitute that for y in the first equation:
1/2x + 1/3(10 -1/4x) = 5
1/2x + 10/3 -1/12x = 5 . . . . eliminate parentheses
You can work this a couple of ways from here. One is to multiply by 12 to eliminate fractions. Another is to work with the numbers as they are. We'll do that, because we don't get enough practice doing arithmetic with fractions.
5/12x = 5/3 . . . . . subtract 10/3
x = (5/3)/(5/12) = 12/3 = 4
From above, we can use our expression for y:
y = 10 - 1/4·4 = 9
The solution is (x, y) = (4, 9).
Well if we look at it this way, 12 divided by 4 equals 3 and 3 times 5 equals 15, so 1 cup divided in to four is one fourth cup. So your Answer is one fourth a cup.
ANSWER 1/4 Cup
