The answer is 8/5.
To divide fractions, flip the second fraction and multiply.
For example,
= 6/7 • 21/5
= 126/35
Simplify by dividing both sides by 7 to get your answer.
= 8/5
The square root of four is two. To find the square root of four you find out what number, when multiplied by itself will get four. In this case, 2×2=4.
26% less than a value is best found by multiplying by (100 - 26)% = 74% = 0.74
So previous year x 0.74 = 40,700
Previous year = 40,700 / 0.74 = $55,000
Answer:
A. {x,y}={-2,-3}
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = 2y + 4
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] (2y+4) - y = 1
[1] y = -3
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = - 3
// By now we know this much :
x = 2y+4
y = -3
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = 2(-3)+4 = -2
B. [1] 3x=3y-6
[2] y=x+2
Equations Simplified or Rearranged :
[1] 3x - 3y = -6
[2] -x + y = 2
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = x + 2
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 3x - 3•(x +2) = -6
[1] 0 = 0 => Infinitely many solutions

System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] 4x - y = 2
[2] 8x - 2y = 4
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 4x - 2
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] 8x - 2•(4x-2) = 4
[2] 0 = 0 => Infinitely many solutions
