Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24
Subtract the second from the first:
4x + 4y = 24
- 5x + 4y = 28
4x - 5x = -x
4y = 4y = 0
24 - 28 = -4
so you end with -x + 0 = -4
Solve for x to get x = 4
Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.
2(4) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 4
y = 2
the number isn't large enough to round to the nearest ten thousandths.
that would be the 4th digit to the right of the decimal point, so we would need the 4th and 5th numbers to the right in order to round the answer.
Answer:
106 : 84
Step-by-step explanation:
53 : 42 = 106 : 84
The ratio is already in lowest terms so found I an equivalent ratio by multiplying both terms by 2.
