Answer:
x =-1 y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 ×4 is -4. 2×4 is 8
8 +-4 =4
Answer:
y - x = - 2 b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given-
3 x + 2 y = 5 a + b...................(i)
4 x - 3 y = a + 7 b.....................(ii)
<em><u>Multiply by 3 and 2 in equation (i) & (ii) respectively-</u></em>
<em><u>Add equation (iii) & (iv)-</u></em>
9 x + 6 y = 15 a + 3 a...................(iii)
<u>8 x - 6 y = 2 a + 14 b</u> ...................(iv)
17 x = 17 a + 17 b
<u>x = a + b</u>
Put x = a + b in equation (i)-
<em>2 y = 5 a + b - 3 a - 3 b</em>
<em>2 y = 2 a - 2 b</em>
<u>y = a - b </u>
<em>∴ y - x = a - b - ( a + b )</em>
<em>y - x = a - b - a - b</em>
y - x = - 2 b
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x/4=3/8 multiply both sides by 4
x=12/8 divide numerator and denominator by 4
x=3/2
x=1.5
x/8=1.5/2 multiply both sides by 8
x=12/2
x=6
Answer: True
Explanation: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions.
So here, we have 4/9 + 6/9 which is 10/9.
Then add the whole numbers.
So we have 1 + 2 which is 3.
So our answer is 3 and 10/9.
But notice, that since 10/9 is an improper fraction,
our answer is not in lowest terms.
10/9 can be rewritten as the mixed number 1 and 1/9.
So 3 and 10/9 is the same as 3 + 1 and 1/9 which is 4 and 1/9.
Since 4 and 1/9 is in lowest terms, this is our final answer.
So we can say that 1 and 4/9 + 2 and 6/9 is 4 and 1/9.
