1 answer:

3 0

Hello there! The formula for dividing fraction is keep, change, flip. You keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the second fraction over by its reciprocal. In this case, 5/12 remains the same, division becoems multiplication, and 20/36 flips over to become 36/20. So the expression becomes this:

5/12 * 36/20

Now, we multiply straight across. 5 * 36 is 180. 12 * 20 is 240. 180/240 is 3/4 in simplest form. There. The quotient is 3/4.

Andreyy89

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-5,\ y=4\to(-5,\ 4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=2\\5x-y=-29&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=2\\15x-3y=-87\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad17x=-85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 17}\\.\qquad\dfrac{17x}{17}=\dfrac{-85}{17}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=-5}\\\\\text{Substitute it to the second equation:}\\\\5(-5)-y=-29\\\\-25-y=-29\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\-25+25-y=-29+25\\\\-y=-4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{y=4}$

The area of a rectangle is square units. Factor this expression. Given your answer in part A, describe what you can conclude abo

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The factored area of the rectangle=2(2w-5)

Area of a rectangle=length×width

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle is 4w - 10 square units

We have to factor the expression

Area of rectangle = 4w - 10

common factor=2

Area of rectangle = 2(2w - 5)

Thus the given expression is factored

Area of a rectangle=length × width

Area of the rectangle=2×(2w-5)

Thus, it is safe to say

The length=2 or (2w-5)

The width=(2w-5) or 2
