5/12 is less than 1/2 because 6/12 = 1/2
Therefore, there are not enough 1/12 pieces to equal or exceed 1/2.

If there is a circle if you split that in half and ate it, that is 1/2. If you split the pizza in 12 pieces and ate 5, that is 5/12. Half a pizza left is bigger than 5/12 of one

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. 
kiruha [24]
5x+3y=58
5x-3y=22
(3y gets cancelled bc 3y-3y=0,  then add 5x with 5x, so you're left with)
10x=80, (divide both sides by 10)
x=8
Now we look for y. So choose one formula from the two (let's say 5x + 3y=58)
Substitute x for 8 so it will look like---- 5(8)+3y=58
Multiply 5*8--- so you get --  40+3y=58
Subtract 40 from both sides and you're left with 3y=18
divide both sides by 3
you get y=6
In conclusion, x=8 and y=6 hence, (8,6)
