Answer: 2/3, 29/36, 5/6, 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the common denominator you could use for all fractions. In this instance, you can use 36 for the common denominator.

2/3: 36/3=12, 2x12=24 therefore 2/3 becomes 24/36.

29/36: you leave this one alone, it has already been simplified.

5/6: 36/6=6, 6x5=30 therefore 5/6 becomes 30/36.

8/9: 36/9=4, 8x4=32 therefore 8/9 becomes 32/26.

Put them into y=mx+b
y=1/3x -1
y=2/3x-4
Graph them. Where they touch is your answer. No touch? No solution. Same line? Infinite solutions.
Second set: Same thing.
Solution to first set is (9,2)

6x+3(4x-2)=5(2x-8) the answer is -17/4 but can someone explain how to get that answer? plz help lol

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x + 3(4x - 2) = 5(2x - 8)$

Expand the terms in the bracket and simplify

That's

$6x + 12x - 6 = 10x - 40 \\ 18x - 6 = 10x - 40$

Using the subtraction property subtract 10x from both sides of the equation

$18x - 10x - 6 = 10x - 10x - 40 \\ 8x - 6 = - 40$

<u>Add 6 to both sides of the equation</u>

$8x + 6 - 6 = - 40 + 6 \\ 8x = - 34$

<u>Divide both sides by 8</u>

$\frac{8x}{8} = - \frac{34}{8}$

<u>Reduce the fraction with 2</u>

We have the final answer as

$x = - \frac{17}{4}$

Hope this helps you

Answer:

The answers are A, C, & D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A: the 34 would have an imaginary 0 behind it, so then it would become 340, which is greater than 304.

B, C, D: same logic as A
