Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.
No I do not agree with (2,-4) I believe the solution is (-4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is 4b + 5m = €10.90, and values of b and m are €1.35 and €1.1 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find equation for Thursday's sales.
Given b = price of a loaf of bread and m = price of one liter of milk
Total sales = €10.90
Equation ⇒ 4b + 5m = €10.90
- Step 2: Find the values of b and m.
3b + 2m = 6.25 ----- (1)
4b + 5m = 10.90 ---- (2)
Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 to make coefficients of m equal.
15b + 10m = 31.25
8b + 10m = 21.8
Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)
⇒ 7b = 9.45
⇒ b = 9.45/7 = €1.35
Substitute for b and find m using eq(1).
⇒ 3 × 1.35 + 2m = 6.25
⇒ 4.05 + 2m = 6.25
⇒ 2m = 2.2
∴∴ m = 2.2/2 = €1.1
