5 1/2 - 8/5
First convert 5 1/2 to improper fraction. 
5 1/2= (2x5+1)/2 = (10+1)/2 = 11/2
We get
11/2 - 8/5
LCD= 2 x 5 =10
Adjust with fractions.
(5x11 - 8x2) /10
(55-16)/10
=39/10

Answer: 39/10  or  In mix number form: 3 9/10

please explain the steps that are used to solve this??? Given:2(10 -13x)+9=-34x+60 Step 1:20-26x=-34x+60 Step 2:-26x=-34x+40 Ste

You left out the 9 in the whole equation. The 1st step you had right you just forgot to put +9. 2nd step you are combining the like terms and get 11-26x=-34x+40. Step 3: you are trying to isolate the x on one of the sides. You need to switch the 11 over to the 40 and get 29. Move -34x over to -26x and get 8x. Step 4 all you are doing in dividing 8 from both sides and get 5.

Use the Echelon Method<br> 1. Solve<br> x + 3y = 7<br> 3x + 4y = 11
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

x = 1     y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 7

- Subtract x from both sides.

3y = -x + 7

- Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.

y = -1/3x + 7/3

- Plug the value of y into the other equation.

3x + 4(-1/3x + 7/3) = 11

3x - 4/3x + 28/3 = 11

- Add like terms.

5/3x + 28/3 = 11

5/3x = 5/3

x = 1

- Plug the value of x into the equation.

x + 3y = 7

(1) + 3y = 7

3y = 6

y = 2
