Answer:

- 23/15 or - 1 8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to subtract fractions, you first want to see if they have the same denominator. In this case, there isn't a common denominator so we need to make it so there is. Since 15 is the larger one and a multiple of 3, we can change -6/3 to -30/15 by multiplying the top and bottom by 5. Now the double negatives cancel each other out so instead of -30/15 - (-7/15), it will be -30/15 + 7/15. Add them together and you get -23/15.

This morning, some dragons, horses, and chickens were playing in my backyard. I counted 15 heads, 50 legs, and 4 wings. How many

klasskru [66]

We are given

number of heads =15

we know that

any healthy dragon has three heads

horse has 1 head

chicken has 1 head

Let's assume

number of dragons is x

number of horses is y

number of chickens is z

so, we will get

first equation:

$3x+y+z=15$

number of legs =50

any healthy dragon has four legs

chicken has 2 legs

horse has four legs

so, we can get second equation as

$4x+4y+2z=50$

we can simplify it

$2(2x+2y+z)=50$

$2x+2y+z=25$

now, we can find third equation

dragon has two wings

horse has no wings

chicken has two wings

so, we will get third equations as

$2x+0y+2z=4$

now, we can simplify it

$2x+2z=4$

$2(x+z)=4$

$x+z=2$

so, we will get system of equations as

$3x+y+z=15$

$2x+2y+z=25$

$x+z=2$

now, we can use substitution

We can find for z from third equation

$z=2-x$

we can plug this in first equation

$3x+y+2-x=15$

now, we can solve for y

$2x+y+2=15$

$y=13-2x$

now, we can plug this z and y into second equation

$2x+2(13-2x)+2-x=25$

now, we can solve for x

$x-4x+26=23$

$-3x=-3$

$x=1$

now, we can find y and z

$y=13-2x$

we can plug x=1

$y=13-2*1$

$y=11$

$z=2-x$

we can plug x=1

$z=2-1$

$z=1$

Hence ,

number of dragons is 1

number of horses is 11

number of chicken is 1............Answer

What is 1/7 As a decimal?<br><br> Give your answer rounded to 2 decimal places.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

1/7 = 0.1428571429.......

round to two decimal places so se look at the 4 which is the second decimal place, and then we see that the number to the right of it is less than 5 and therefore we round down to 4 and not 5.

:) hope this helps, please mark as brainliest!
