3x - 2y = 1
2x + 2y = 4
Add the second equation to the first
5x = 5
2x + 2y = 4
Divide the first equation by 5
x = 1
2x + 2y = 4
Subtract the first equation from the second
x = 1
x + 2y = 3
Subtract the first equation from the second again
x = 1
2y = 2
Divide the second equation by 2
x = 1
y = 1
<h3>
So, the solution is x = 1 and y = 1 {or: (1, 1)} </h3>
Answer:
7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
17=x+x+10
17-10=2x
7=2x
x=7/2
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The second option: 3 (6 - 5n)/20n
Step-by-step explanation:
Make sure all fractions have a common denominator:
Step 1. Find a common multiple between all three denominators
5, 4, and 10 all have a common multiple of 20. Proof: 5 × 4 = 20, 4 × 5 = 20, and 10 × 2 = 20
Step 2. Multiply the denominators to get to 20. Whatever you do to the bottom (denominator) must be done to the top (numerator).
1/5n × 4/4 = 4/20n
3/4 × 5n/5n = 15n/20n
7/10n × 2/2 = 14/20n
Your fractions now all have a common denominator of 20n.
Rewrite the equation using the new fractions:
4/20n - 15n/20n + 14/20n
Only focus on adding/subtracting the numerators; the denominators will stay the same: 20n.
(4 - 15n + 14)/20n
Combine like terms:
(18 - 15n)/20n
Factor out any numbers possible:
3(6 - 5n)/20n
Note* 3 go into both 18 and 15, which allows us to factor 3 out. 18 ÷ 3 = 6 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5, giving us our new numbers inside the parentheses.
