We need to start by making it into an improper fraction

14 2/5 = 72/5 then divide it by 8

72 1 72
--- × --- = -----
5 8 40

then simplify

9/5 is your answer

Find the solution set of the following equations: <br><br>2y=2x+7<br><br>X=y+2

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The system of equations has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

2y = 2x+7

x = y+2

solving the system of equations

$\begin{bmatrix}2y=2x+7\\ x=y+2\end{bmatrix}$

Arrange equation variables for elimination

$\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=7\\ -y+x=2\end{bmatrix}$

Multiply -y+x=2 by 2: -2y+2x=4

$\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=7\\ -2y+2x=4\end{bmatrix}$

so adding

$-2y+2x=4$

$+$

$\underline{2y-2x=7}$

$0=11$

so the system of equations becomes

$\begin{bmatrix}2y-2x=7\\ 0=11\end{bmatrix}$

0 = 11 is false, therefore the system of equations has no solution.

Thus,

No Solution!

Answer:

20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance from the top car to the bottom car is equal to the diameter of the wheel. The diameter is 40 m, and that is twice the radius. The radius of the Ferris wheel is (40 m)/2 = 20 m.
