Answer: 2 2/5 is 4/5 of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can view that as what do we multiply 3 by to get 2 2/5 and call that value x
3x = 2 2/5
x = (2 2/5)/3
Let's turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction... 2 2/5 = 12/5
So we have
x = (12/5)/3 = (12/5)(1/3) = 4/5
Thus 2 2/5 is 4/5 of 3
Verify: 3(4/5) = 12/5 = 2 2/5
Answer:
2. x = 2 & y = 4
3. x = 4 & y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2. x + y = 6
2x + y = 8 (multiply the first equation by -1, so you can eliminate the ys)
- x - y = -6
2x + y = 8 (now add the variables together)
x = 2 (plug in x in one of the equations to find out y)
x + y = 6
(2) + y = 6
-2 -2
y = 4
3. 3x + y = 14
x = 2y (plug in x into the first equation and solve it for y)
3(2y) + y = 14
6y + y = 14
7y = 14
y = 2 (plug in y in one of the equations to find out x)
x = 2y
x = 2(2)
x = 4
4. One number (x) is 2 more (+2) than twice (times 2) as large as another. their sum is 17. Find the numbers.
2x + 2 = 17 (solve for x)
-2 -2
2x = 15
x = 7.5
6. 7 (4x + 1) - (x + 6) (start by distributing 7 into the first parenthesis)
(28x + 7) - (x + 6) (do the same to the other parenthesis by distributing -1)
(28x + 7) (-x - 6) (and now just combine like terms)
28x + 7 - x - 6
28x - x + 7 - 6
27x + 1
i hope this helped! if you have any question, pls let me know!
Look at your picture
notice the coordinates for the center of the circle, the x,y or h,k values
notice how long the radius is
thus
