Let the numbers = x,y

x+y = 56 1st eqn

x+5y = 192 2nd eqn

56-y+5y = 192

4y = 136

y = 34

substitute that in 1st eqn, x = 56-34 = 22

So, smaller number = 22 & Larger number = 34

Answer:

(2,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the numbers to test and see if it gives you -17 and -8.

Option 1. 2(-4)+3(2)

= -8+6 = -2. Not it.

Option 2. 2(2)+3(-7)

4 - 21 = -17 Works. Try the second equation to make sure.

3(2)+2(-7)

6-14 = -8. Works.

(2,-7) is the answer.

Find the value of 8/15×2/13 Although these numbers aren't quite as nice as the ones from the example, the procedure is the same,

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$\frac{16}{195}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the result of a fractions multiplication we need to multiply both numerators and the divide by the multiplication of the denomitators. In general, given a,b,c,d real numbers with b and d not zero, we have that

$\frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a*c}{b*d}$

Substituting a,b,c and d for 8,15,2 and 13 we obtain that

$\frac{8}{15}* \frac{2}{13} =\frac{16}{195}$
