A)2y - 1/2 = -1/3

2y=-1/3+1/2

FIND THE LCM TO MAKE THE FRACTIONS LIKE FRACTIONS

LCM OF 3 AND 2 IS 6

-1/3*2=-2/6

1/2*3=3/6

-2/6+3/6=1/6

2y=1/6

y=1/6 ÷ 2

TAKING THE RECIPROCAL,

RECIPROCAL OF 2 IS 1/2

y=1/6*1/2

y=1/12

B) 6 + 5 (a - 1) = 30

6+(5)*(a)+(5)*(−1)=30(Distribute)

6+5a+−5=30

(5a)+(6+−5)=30(Combine Like Terms)

5a+1=30

5a=30-1

5a=29

a=29/5

15.sum of three consecutive integers=48

let the numbers be x ,x+1,x+2

x+x+1+x+2==48

3x+3=48

3x=48-3

3x=45

x=45/3

x=15

x+1=15+1=16

x+2=15+2=17

the numbers are 15,16,17

Please solve this <br>Solve by completing the square. 4x2+8x−3=0
Greeley [361]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x2+8x−3=0

For this equation: a=4, b=8, c=-3

4x2+8x+−3=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=4, b=8, c=-3.

x=

−b±√b2−4ac

2a

x= −(8)±√(8)2−4(4)(−3)

2(4)

x= −8±√112

8  x=−1+

Solve the given inequality. Describe the solution set using the set builder or interval notation. Then graph the solution set on
Sophie [7]

Answer: THIRD OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following inequality:

3(x-5)\geq 6

You can follow these steps in order to solve it:

1. Apply Distributive property on the left side:

3(x-5)\geq 6\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(-5)\geq 6\\\\3x-15\geq 6

2. Add 15 to both sides of the inequality:

3x-15+(15)\geq 6+(15)\\\\3x\geq 21

3. Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 3:

\frac{3x}{3}\geq \frac{21}{3}\\\\x\geq 7

 The symbol is \geq means "Greater than or equal to", and indicates that 7 is  include in the solution.

Therefore, the solution can be expressed as:

[7, \infty)

Now you must mark this point with a closed dot on the number line and shade everything to the right.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1, y = 3 → (1, 3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-2x+y=1\\-4x+y=-1&\text{change the signs}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-2x+y=1\\4x-y=1\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad2x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\.\qquad x=1\\\\\text{Put it to the first equation:}\\\\-2(1)+y=1\\-2+y=1\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\y=3

You can draw a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel lines and no right angles?
bonufazy [111]
Yes you can. The quadrilateral that you would get is called parallelogram. It has 2 paris of parallel lines. and 2 pairs of equal angles. one pair is angles that are less than 90 degrees and other one is where 2 angles are greater than 90 degrees each. Therefore there isnt any right angle there and you got yourself quadrilateral. of these 2 parallel lines are of equal lenght than you get something called rhombus.
