So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
They are all true None are false
The easy thing to do is eliminate x by subtraction
x + 7y = 24
- x - 9y = -24
-------------------
16y = 48
now solve for y and then substitute the value into either original equation to find x
Answer:
Proved
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given parameters, we have:
i.e. the length of each security numbers
i.e. 2 security numbers
Required
In 513 security numbers, 2 must have matching zeros
To do this, we make use of Pigeonhole principle.
First, we calculate the number of all security numbers not having matching zeros.
Each of the 9 digits can be selected in 2 ways.
2 ways implies that each digit is either 0 or not
So, total selection is:
Apply Pigeonhole principle
The principle states that: suppose there are n items in m containers, where 
, then there is at least one container that contains more than 1 item.
This means that if there are 512 security number without matching zeros, then there is 1 (i.e. 512 + 1) with matching zeros.
