Simplify negative 2 and 1 over 9 – negative 4 and 1 over 3.

Mathematics

Ugo [173]2 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is

2\frac{2}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1

We want to simplify,

-2\frac{1}{9} -(-4\frac{1}{3})


The double negatives becomes positive,


=-2\frac{1}{9} +4\frac{1}{3}


We now add the whole number parts and the fractions separately


=-2+4-\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}


This will give us,

=2-\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}


The least common denominator for the fractional parts is 9.

=2+\frac{-1+3\times1}{9}


=2+\frac{-1+3}{9}


=2+\frac{2}{9}


=2\frac{2}{9}


Method 2

We want to simplify,

-2\frac{1}{9} -(-4\frac{1}{3})


The double negatives becomes positive,


=-2\frac{1}{9} +4\frac{1}{3}


We first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain,


=-\frac{2\times9+1}{9} +\frac{4\times3+1}{3}


We carry out the multiplication in the numerator to get,


=-\frac{18+1}{9} +\frac{12+1}{3}


We add in the numerator to get,

=-\frac{19}{9} +\frac{13}{3}

The least common denominator is 9.

=\frac{-19+13\times3}{9}


=\frac{-19+39}{9}

=\frac{20}{9}

We convert back to mixed numbers to get,

=2\frac{2}{9}

Solve the system using elimination.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x+7y=22,

x-7y=-17

We need to use elimination method to solve the and simplify the equations.

Solution;

Let x+7y=22 ⇒ equation 1

Also Let 4x-7y=-17⇒ equation 2

Now by solving the equation we get;

first we will Add equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(x+7y)+(4x-7y)=22+(-17)\\\\x+7y+4x-7y=22-17\\\\5x=5

Now Dividing  both side by 5 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{5}{5}\\\\x=1

Now Substituting the vale of x in equation 1 we get;

x+7y=22\\\\1+7y=22

subtracting both side by 1 using subtraction property of equality we get;

1+7y-1=22-1\\\\7y=21

Now Dividing  both side by 7 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{21}{7}\\\\y=3

Hence we can say that, After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).
