Here's a way to do it.
Let 4e +2 = 5n +1 . . . . . . for some integer n
Then e = (5n -1)/4 = n + (n -1)/4
We want (n-1)/4 to be an integer, so let it be integer m.
... m = (n -1)/4
... 4m = n -1
... 4m +1 = n
Substituting this into our expression for e gives
... e = (5(4m+1) -1)/4 = (20m +4)/4 = 5m +1
e = 5m+1 for any integer m
Answer: An equations is a number, a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operational symbols. An equation is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.
Example Expression: 8x+5y-3x-5
Example Equation: 5x-4=x
Hope this helps a little bit:)
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 6 and y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
AB = x DF = 18
BC = 5 FE = 15
AC = 3 DE = y
Process
1.- Find y
Use proportions to find it
DE/FE = AC/BC
Substitution
y/15 = 3/5
Solve for y
y = 15(3/5)
y = 45/5
y = 9
2.- Find x
AB/DF = BC/FE
Substitution
x/18 = 5/15
Solve for x
x = 18(5/15)
x = 90/15
x = 6
Answer:
B
