Answer:

  -1 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If your calculator doesn't do this directly, you can convert each of the numbers to an improper fraction and do the fraction division.

  2 1/2 = 5/2

  -1 3/4 = -7/4

Then the division is ...

  (5/2)/(-7/4) = -(10/4)/(7/4) = -10/7 = -1 3/7 . . . . . using same denominators

  (5/2)/(-7/4) = -(5/2)(4/7) = -10/7 = -1 3/7 . . . . . . using "invert and multiply"

_____

<em>Comment on dividing fractions</em>

You can always divide fractions using the "invert and multiply" technique. The quantity inverted is the denominator. That is, dividing by a value is the same as multiplying by the inverse of that value:

  (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b) × (d/c) = (ad)/(bc)

It is often useful to cancel common factors from numerator and denominator before doing the multiplication.

__

When the two fractions being divided have the same denominator, their quotient is the ratio of their numerators:

  (a/b) / (c/b) = a/c

Sometimes, it is easy to adjust the denominators to be the same value, making this method of division the one of choice.

solve the system of equations by finding the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for the system of equations. x-2y+
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x = -5, y = -6, z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of three equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-2y+3z=-2\\6x+2y+2z=-48\\x+4y+3z=-38\end{array}\right.

Write the augmented matrix for the system of equations

\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\6&2&2&|&-48\\1&4&3&|&-38\end{array}\right)

Find the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for the system of equations:

\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\6&2&2&|&-48\\1&4&3&|&-38\end{array}\right)\sim \left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\0&-14&16&|&36\\0&-6&0&|&36\end{array}\right)\sim \left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&3&-2&|&-2\\0&16&-14&|&36\\0&0&-6&|&36\end{array}\right)

Thus, the system of three equations is

\left\{\begin{array}{r}x+3z-2y=-2\\16z-14y=36\\-6y=36\end{array}\right.

From the last equation:

y=-6

Substitute it into the second equation:

16z-14\cdot (-6)=36\\ \\16z=36-84\\ \\16z=-48\\ \\z=-3

Substitute y = -6 and z = -3 into the first equation:

x+3\cdot (-3)-2\cdot (-6)=-2\\ \\x=-2+9-12\\ \\x=-5

Simplify each expression.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

1. 80

2. 18.9

3. 7

4. 146

5. 2

6. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6+4=10

10×8=80

2. 3.6×4.5= 16.2

16.2+2.7= 18.9

3. 3+2=5

5×2= 10

17-10=7

4. 4×3=12^2

12×12=144

144+2= 146

5. 3+2=5

5×6=30

30÷15=2

6. 5×2= 10

40÷10=4

When placed in the box below, what expression will complete an example of the commutative property of addition 7(2+9)= ?
ANEK [815]

The expression for 7(2+9) IS A(B+C) which is distributive property of addition over multiplication.

Only two arithmetic procedures are subject to the commutative property: Multiplication and Addition

 A + B = B + A Which is Commutative property of addition

A.B = B.A, which is a commutative property of multiplication.

Distributive property is A(B+C) =AB+AC

The operation on numbers that are available in brackets can be distributed for each number outside the bracket, according to the distributive property. It is one of the mathematical properties that is used the most. Commutative and associative qualities are the other two important features.

from the given data 7(2+9) =7*2+7*9

                                                =14+63

                                                =77

Now, we can clear that 7(2+9) =7(9+2)

Hence, the expression for commutative property of addition is A(B+C) = AB+AC.
