Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 is the same thing as 2÷5 since / and ÷ both mean to divide. So therefore your blank would be 5.
Answer:
(-1/3, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 8y = 3
6x - 12y = -11
Let's solve the system by eliminating x. We need the coefficients of x to be additive inverses, so they will add to zero eliminating x. The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18. Let's multiply both sides of the first by 2 and both sides of the second equation by -3.
18x + 16y = 6
-18x + 36y = 33
The coefficients of x are 18 and -18, which add to zero. Now we add these two equations.
52y = 39
y = 39/52
y = 3/4
Now we substitute y with 3/4 in the first equation and solve for x.
9x + 8y = 3
9x + 8(3/4) = 3
9x + 6 = 3
9x = -3
x = -3/9
x = -1/3
Solution: (-1/3, 3/4)

Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
$12 = 2hours
Find how much Clare was paid for one hour
Total money earned ÷ number of hours = wage per hour
12 ÷ 2 = $6 per hour
set up equation
6x = 18
This equation says 6 dollars an hour × number of hours = $18
To solve for this equation, divide both sides by 6 (this isolates the variable)
6x ÷ 6 = 18 ÷ 6
1x = 3
x = 3
Remark
She starts out with x
She spends 10 dollars paying back her brother (that's - 10)
She spends 30 dollars on fuel (that - 30)
She spends 1/2 what's left on a tent ( that's 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) )
She then spent 29.45 on running shoes. 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) + 29.45 is her expenditures.
After all that she has 17.75 left.
Equation
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) - 29.45 = 17.75
Solve
Begin by adding 29.95 to both sides.
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) = 17.75 + 29.45
x -10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) = 47.20 Add the like terms on the left.
x - 40 - 1/2(x - 40) = 47.20 Add 40 to both sides. Don't go inside the brackets.
x - 1/2x + 1/2 (40) = 87.20
1/2 x + 20 = 87.20 Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/2 x = 67.20 Multiply by 2
x = 134.40
