<h3>Andy is not correct because when adding the 2 fractions, he needs to create fractional parts with the same denominator.  NOTHING can be added unless the units are the same.  The denominator of a fraction are the units.  He needed to make 3/5 = 12/20 and 1/4 = 5/20.  Adding these together would be 17/20, making 3/20 of them NOT action or comedy.  17/20 + 3/20 = 20/20 or the total.</h3>

Is this proportion true 12/15=47/50<br>16/36=12/27<br>15/20=24/26<br>or 4/16=2/14
jekas [21]
For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.

For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!

I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>

8x-5y= 14<br> – 5х+бу = -3
podryga [215]

Answer:

y= 34/23

x=  123/46

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x

8x-5y= 14

x= 14/8 +5/8y

Sub x into second equation

– 5х+бу = -3

-5(14/8 +5/8y) + 6y= -3

-29/4 +23/8y = -3

y= 34/23

Sub y into any equation and solve for x

8x=483/23

x= 123/46
