7/12 - 3/12 = 1/3
Simplify each fraction if possible.
Same denominator? YES!
7 - 3 = 4
Since they have the same denominator, you just subtract the numerators.
Then simplify 4/12
4/4= 1 12/4= 3
Answer: 1/3
Hope that helps!
move all terms to the left side and set equals to zero. then set each factor equal to zero
Answer:
(3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-4=y
2y+3x=13
We substitute the y in. They already gave us the equation 2x-4=y simplified so you would just plug this into the other equation
2(2x-4) +3x=13 : *distribute*
4x-8+3x=13 : *combine like terms*
7x-8=13 * add the 8 to the other side*
7x=21 *divide*
x=3
So the y=2x-4 is what we added in the place of the y to subtract it and solve for x. The second step would be solving for y. So now that we have our answer, 3 we plug it into the other equation preferably.
2(3)-4 =y : 6-4=y : 2=y
We can check our answer by pugging both x and y into both equations to make sure they are right. The statement should be true.
2x-4=y 2(3)-4=(2) 2=2
2y+3x=13 2(2)+3(3)=13 13=13
Answer: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable. x=−4
