Adding fractions is easy when you get the rules...
10/12 + 6/12...
add the numerator which is the top, and keep the denominator which is the bottom.
10/12 +6/12 = 16/12
change that into a mixed number
16/12 = 1 4/12 which is simplified to 1 1/3
hope this helps
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
The end of the box is at 32.
Answer: option c. She subtracted the coefficients instead of dividing them
Explanation:
1) Starting expression (given):
2) Simplified expression (given)
3) Note that if you do the operations correctly you get:
i) By dividing the coefficients:
ii) By subtracting the exponents
And that is the correct result.
4) But if you subtract the coefficients, instead of dividing them, then you get 10 - ( - 5) = 10 + 5 = 15
Which is what she obtained in the numerator. And this is wrong, because the coefficients must be divided.
It is the exponents what you subtract, as per the rule of quotient of powers.
107.1 is the answer and it’s not rounded I use a calculator
Answer:
(d)
Step-by-step explanation:
Elimination is a good choice of solution method when the coefficient of a variable in one equation is a simple multiple of the coefficient of that same variable in the other equation. This is the case for the system in the last choice. (see attached)

We can consider the alternatives:
(a) substitution for y would work well
(b) the solution is given, no solution effort is required
(c) substitution for y would work well
(d) elimination would work well.
3(2x +3y) +(-6x +y) = 3(18) +(12) . . . . . eliminates x (y=6.6)
(2x +3y) -3(-6x +y) = (18) -3(12) . . . . . . eliminates y (x=-0.9)
