Short answer b 7m
Very simple just do the math mostly multiplying
Find the common denominator for both unlike fractions.
EX: 1 2
12 8
The lowest common factor is both fractions is 24. Multiply both denominators to get 24.
Do not forget to multiply the numerators with the number you used to multiply the denominators together.
You do not have to multiply each side by the same number.
[ 2x + y = -9 ] x -3
[- 3x +11= y ] x 2
-6x -3y = 27
-6x + 22 = 2y
-6x +27 = 3y
-6x +22 = 2y
5 = y
-6x -3x5 = 27
-6x -15 = 27
-6x = 42
-x = 42/6
-x = 7
x = -7
answer
x = -7
y = 5
Answer:
The two numbers are:
30 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
a + b = 48
a - b = 12
From the first eq.
a = 48 - b
Replacing this last value in the second eq.
(48 - b) - b = 12
48 - 2b = 12
48 - 12 = 2b
36 = 2b
36/2 = b
18 = b
from the first eq.
a + 18 = 48
a = 48 - 18
a = 30
Check:
from the second eq.
a - b = 12
30 - 18 = 12
