15x - 5y = 1 it's B in standard form
8 1/2=17/2=8.5
24,700 divided by 8.5=2,905,8823
OR
24,700:17/2 =24,700x2/17=2,905,8823
Answer:
A multiplicative inverse is a reciprocal. ... A reciprocal is one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1. For example, if we have the number 7, the multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, would be 1/7 because when you multiply 7 and 1/7 together, you get 1!
You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.
Left at 3 p.m
traveled 1 hr 30 min......now its 4:30 p.m.
stopped for 15 min....now its 4:45 p.m.
continued for 2 hrs 10 min....now its 6:55 p.m
so the train arrived at 6:55 p.m.
