If you would like to know what is 3 divided by 5 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:
5 5/8 = 45/8
3 divided by 5 5/8:
3 / 5 5/8 = 3 / 45/8 = 3 * 8/45 = 8/15
The correct result would be 8/15.
Answer:
In this problem, "y" represents the integer that must be found or figured for. When a number and a representation are written this way, i.e. "8y", you must mulitply them. If there is more information, you can figure for "y". If there is no other information, "y" is simplied and the end result is "8y".
And I not sure what - 1 is but it might be subtraction.
It has multiple functions but it should be close to the middle
3x + 2y = 10 .....multiply by -2
2x + 3y = 15/2...multiply by 3
------------------
-6x - 4y = -20 (result of multiplying by -2)
6x + 9y = 22.5 (result of multiplying by 3)
-----------------add
5y = 2.5
y = 2.5/5
y = 1/2
3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(1/2) = 10
3x + 1 = 10
3x = 10 - 1
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
solution is (3,-1/2)
