Answer:

18/40

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find a common denominator

8, 16, 24, 32, 40

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

2/8 times 5= 10/40

1/5 times 8= 8/40

10/40 plus 8/40= 18/40

<h2> <u>Explanation</u><u>:</u></h2>

$\bf \underline{★Given-} \\$

$\textsf{4x + 5y = 8};$

$\textsf{5x + 4y = 12}$

$\bf \underline{★To\: find-} \\$

$\textsf{the value of x and y in equation?}$

$\bf \underline{★Solution-} \\$

$\sf \leadsto 4x + 5y = 8 - - - (i)$

$\sf \leadsto 5x + 4y = 12 - - - (ii)$

By first equation,

$\sf \leadsto 4x + 5y = 8$

$\sf \leadsto 4x = 8 - 5y$

$\sf \leadsto x = \dfrac{8 - 5y}{4}$

$\textsf{Now, we can find the original value of Y.}\\$

$\sf \leadsto 5x + 4y = 12$

$\sf \leadsto 5 \bigg( \dfrac{8 - 5y}{4} \bigg) + 4y = 12$

$\sf \leadsto \dfrac{40 - 25y}{4} + 4y = 12$

$\sf \leadsto \dfrac{40 - 25y + 16y}{4} = 12$

$\sf \leadsto \dfrac{40 - 9y}{4} = 12$

$\sf \leadsto 40 - 9y = 12(4)$

$\sf \leadsto 40 - 9y = 48$

$\sf \leadsto -9y = 48 - 40$

$\sf \leadsto -9y = 8$

$\sf \leadsto y = \dfrac{ -8}{9}$

$\textsf{Now, we can find the original value of X.}\\$

$\sf \leadsto 4x + 5y = 8$

$\sf \leadsto 4x + 5 \bigg( \dfrac{ -8}{9} \bigg) = 8$

$\sf \leadsto 4x - \dfrac{40}{9} = 8$

$\sf \leadsto \dfrac{36x - 40}{9} = 8$

$\sf \leadsto 36x - 40 = 8(9)$

$\sf \leadsto 36x - 40 = 72$

$\sf \leadsto 36x = 72 + 40$

$\sf \leadsto 36x = 112$

$\sf \leadsto x = \dfrac{112}{36}$

$\underline{\textsf{Answer-}}\\$

Therefore, the values of x and y are -8/9 and 112/36 respectively.

X+8=-2<br><br> O A. x= 10<br> OB. x=-6<br> O C. x=6<br> OD. x= -10

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: option D

Step-by-step explanation:

X+8=-2

x= -2-8 (you should make x the subject so you switch the +8 to the other

x= -10 side which becomes -8)

so you get -10 because, if both the numbers have the minus sign then you should add the two values which will be a negative answer. So your answer is option D

Find the slope of the given line, if it is defined.

il63 [147K]

Answer: A. The slope is $-\dfrac{4}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line helps to specify the direction of the line.

The slope of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Then the slope of a line passes through origin i.e. (0,0) and (-9,12) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{12-0}{-9-0}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope}=\dfrac{12}{-9}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope}=-\dfrac{4}{3}$

Hence, the slope is $-\dfrac{4}{3}$ .
