Answer:

X = 8.5, Y = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

X = # of children's books

Y = # of puzzle books

Amelie wants to buy <u>2 more</u> children's books than puzzle books.

15 - 2 = 13 (Save the 2)

13 / 2 = 6.5

6.5 + 2 = 8.5

So; 8.5 + 6.5 = 15

X = 8.5

Y = 6.5

Use inverse operation to solve the question <br><br> 2/3z = -4<br><br><br> Z= ?
sweet [91]

Answer:

z=(-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/3)*z=(-4)

2*z=3*(-4) --> We move the 3 from the left to the right part of the equation. It was dividing, so we move it multiplying.

2*z=(-12)

z=(-12)/2 --> It's the inverse case of before. 2 was multiplying, so we move it to the right by dividing it.

z=(-6)

What are the factors of 2x2 + 3x – 54? Select two options.
Darya [45]

Hello there,

The equation that we have to factor is as follows:

2x² + 3x - 54

In order to factor this we first multiply (-54) by 2 and try to find two factor pairs that can be add up to 3.

For this we would use 12 * -9 which gives you -108 when multiplied and when added you would get 3.

                                           2x² + 12x - 9x -54

                                            2x(x + 6) -9(x +6)

                                              (2x - 9) (x + 6)

Now the factor pairs would be: (2x - 9)(x + 6)

Hope I helped,

Amna

What are two fractions equal to 2/5?
Georgia [21]
Two fractions that are equal to 2/5 are 4/10 and 6/15. In order to find fractions that are equal to it, just multiply both the numerator and the denominator by any number. I multiplied them by 2 and 3, to keep things simple.

2 x 2 = 4
2 x 5 = 10
4/10

2 x 3 = 6
5 x 3 = 15
6/15

Hope this helps!
