Describe the error made in subtracting the two rational expressions shown:

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

The numerator of the answer should be 3.

Explanation:

The common denominator has been found accurately and the expressions have been accurately changed to reflect that denominator.

The mistake occurs when the subtraction is done.  The subtraction of the numerators would be

(x+1)-(x-2)

Distributing the subtraction sign would give us

x+1-x--2 = x+1-x+2

The x's would cancel, leaving 1+2 = 3.

These are the answers on E2020!

You must subtract all terms of the numerator being subtracted out, not just the first term.  The negative 2 should have been subtracted out to get a numerator of x + 1 - x + 2.  The simplified numerator of the difference should be 3, not –1.

Solve these using elimination.1)x = 5 - 9y4x + 9y = -72)3x = 5y - 92y = 3x + 33)10x - 5 = 3y2x - 3y = 14)-6x - 4y = 10-12x - y =
docker41 [41]
X + 9y = 5 .....multiply by -1
4x + 9y = -7
-----------------
-x - 9y = -5 (result of multiplying by -1)
4x + 9y = -7
----------------add
3x = -12
x = -12/3
x = -4

x = 5 - 9y
-4 = 5 - 9y
-4 - 5 = - 9y
-9 = - 9y
-9/-9 = y
1 = y

solution is (-4,1)
====================
3x = 5y - 9
-3x = -2y + 3 ....I rearranged this equation from 2y = 3x + 3
----------------add
0 = 3y - 6
6 = 3y
6/3 = y
2 = y

3x = 5y - 9
3x = 5(2) - 9
3x = 10 - 9
3x = 1
x = 1/3

solution is (1/3,2)
====================
10x - 3y = 5....rearranged from 10x - 5 = 3y
2x - 3y = 1...multiply by -1
---------------
10x - 3y = 5
-2x + 3y = -1 (result of multiplying by -1)
---------------add
8x = 4
x = 4/8
x = 1/2

10x - 5 = 3y
10(1/2) - 5 = 3y
5 - 5 = 3y
0 = 3y
0 = y

solution is (1/2,0)
======================
-6x - 4y = 10....multiply by -2
-12x - y = 13
----------------
12x + 8y = -20 (result of multiplying by -2)
-12x - y = 13
-----------------add
7y = - 7
y = -7/7
y = -1

-6x - 4y = 10
-6x - 4(-1) = 10
-6x + 4 = 10
-6x = 10 - 4
-6x = 6
x = -6/6
x = -1

solution is (-1,-1)

3 3/5 + 1 1/6 answer as a fraction
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

  • \boxed{\sf{4\dfrac{23}{30} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is necessary to add the whole numbers of fractions from left to right in order to solve this problem.

<h3>3 3/5+1 1/6</h3>

<u>First, you have to add the whole numbers.</u>

3+1=4

<u>After that, you can combine by a fraction.</u>

6*3=18

18/5+ 1 1/6

1+6=7

7/6

<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

18/5+7/6

<u>Solve.</u>

5*6=30

143/30

=23/30

\boxed{\sf{4\dfrac{23}{30} }}

  • <u>Therefore, the final answer is 4 23/30.</u>
