12.9986 would be the answer from a calculator but I'd say it's 12.9. Hope this helped!
Answer:
- (6-u)/(2+u)
- 8/(u+2) -1
- -u/(u+2) +6/(u+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a few ways you can write the equivalent of this.
1) Distribute the minus sign. The starting numerator is -(u-6). After you distribute the minus sign, you get -u+6. You can leave it like that, so that your equivalent form is ...
(-u+6)/(u+2)
Or, you can rearrange the terms so the leading coefficient is positive:
(6 -u)/(u +2)
__
2) You can perform the division and express the result as a quotient and a remainder. Once again, you can choose to make the leading coefficient positive or not.
-(u -6)/(u +2) = (-(u +2)-8)/(u +2) = -(u+2)/(u+2) +8/(u+2) = -1 + 8/(u+2)
or
8/(u+2) -1
Of course, anywhere along the chain of equal signs the expressions are equivalent.
__
3) You can separate the numerator terms, expressing each over the denominator:
(-u +6)/(u+2) = -u/(u+2) +6/(u+2)
__
4) You can also multiply numerator and denominator by some constant, say 3:
-(3u -18)/(3u +6)
You could do the same thing with a variable, as long as you restrict the variable to be non-zero. Or, you could use a non-zero expression, such as 1+x^2:
(1+x^2)(6 -u)/((1+x^2)(u+2))
Answer:
x = 2 and y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
x+2y = 8 -----equation (i)
2x-y = 1 -----equation (ii)
Now,
x+2y = 8
or, x = 8-2y ------equation (iii)
Again,
2x-y = 1
or, 2x = 1+y
or, 2x-1 = y
Putting the value of 'x' from equation (iii)
or, 2(8-2y)-1 = y
or, 16-4y-1 = y
or, 16-1 = y+4y
or, 15 = 5y
or, y = 15/5
or, y = 3
Putting the value of 'y' in equation (iii)
x = 8-2y
or, x = 8-(2×3)
or, x = 8-6
or, x = 2
Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6/6 = 1 gallon
12/6 = 2 gallons
12/6 - 7/6 = 5/6
5/6 should be the answer
