Write -1/6, 5/3, -5/6 in order from least to greatest

1 answer:

5 0

The easiest way to compare fraction is to make them all have the same denominator and then you can just compare the numerators...

-1/6, (5/3)(2/2), -5/6

-1/6, 10/6, -5/6 so from least to greatest

-5/6, -1/6, 10/6

-5/6, -1/6, 5/3

Write each expression as a difference.<br> a+5

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The equivalent expression of a + 5 is -(-a - 5)

<h3>How to rewrite the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

a + 5

Multiply by 1

1 * (a + 5)

Express 1 as -1 * -1

-1 * -1 * (a + 5)

Open the bracket

-1 * (-a - 5)

This gives

-(-a - 5)

Hence, the equivalent expression of a + 5 is -(-a - 5)

If I lost 4% of 100 pencils an 6% of 200 pens how many pencils do I have left and how many pens do I have left?

DedPeter [7]

To find 4% you multiply 100 by .04
100•.04=4
Then subtract
100-4=96 *you have 96 pencils left*

To find 6% of 200, multiply 200 by .06
200•.06=12
Then subtract
200-12=188 *you have 188 pens left*

Apply Crammer's Rule to find the solution to the following quations .2x + 3y = 1, 3x + y = 5

Bond [772]

Answer:

The solution to the equation system given is:

<u>x = 2</u>
<u>y = -1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must know the equations given:

2x + 3y = 1
3x + y = 5

Following Crammer's Rule, we have the matrix form:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\5\end{array}\right]$

Now we solve using the determinants:

$x=\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\5&1\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] } =\frac{(1*1)-(5*3)}{(2*1)-(3*3)} = \frac{1-15}{2-9} =\frac{-14}{-7} = 2$

$y=\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1\\3&5\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\3&1\end{array}\right] } =\frac{(2*5)-(3*1)}{(2*1)-(3*3)}=\frac{10-3}{2-9} =\frac{7}{-7}=-1$

Now, we can find the answer which is x= 2 and y= -1, we can replace these values in the equation to confirm the results are right, with the first equation:

2x + 3y = 1
2(2) + 3(-1)= 1
4 - 3 = 1
1 = 1

And, with the second equation:

3x + y = 5
3(2) + (-1) = 5
6 - 1 = 5
5 = 5
