Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: 3/16 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 16 pieces whilst 3/8 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 8 pieces. They are mildly similar but 3/16 is twice as small as 3/8 and henceforth not equivalent.

Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to decimal, and use your calculator

3/16 = 0.188, divide 3 by 16

3/8 = 0.375, divide 3 by 8

It is not equivalent, as 0 188 is not equal to 0 375, i hope this helps.

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+y=6&|-3x\\2x-4y=10\end{array}\right\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=6-3x\\2x-4y=10\end{array}\right\\\\substitute\ y=6-3x\ to\ the\ second\ equation\\\\2x-4(6-3x)=10\\\\2x-4\cdot6-4\cdot(-3x)=10\\\\2x-24+12x=10\\\\14x-24=10\ \ \ |+24\\\\14x=34\ \ \ \ |:14\\\\x=\dfrac{34}{14}\to x=\dfrac{17}{7}\\\\substitute\ the\ value\ of\ x\ to\ first\ equation\\\\y=6-3\cdot\dfrac{17}{7}=6-\dfrac{51}{7}=\dfrac{42}{7}-\dfrac{51}{7}=-\dfrac{9}{7}$

$\boxed{\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=\dfrac{17}{7}\\\\y=-\dfrac{9}{7}\end{array}\right}$

I think that the answer is four because it makes much more sense but five is not greater than five or less than five so I don’t know. Try four though sorry if it’s wrong though.

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 5 written in simplest radical form?

satela [25.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = \frac{ - b + - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ x = \frac{ - 5 + - \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(5) } }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - 5 + - \sqrt{25 - 20} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - 5 + - \sqrt{5} }{2}$

Therefore, the zeroes would be:

$x1 = \frac{ - 5 + \sqrt{5} }{2} \\ x2 = \frac{ - 5 - \sqrt{5} }{2}$
