<span>If Charles leaves the marina and sails his boat 10° west of north for 1.5h at 18km/h, then makes a right turn towards 60° east of north for 1.2h at 20km/h, he is 42 km from his starting point.</span>
If you have multiple equations with multiple variables, you can either do clever substitutions, or turn it into a matrix on which you can perform linear combinations or multiplications (Gauss elimination)
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
1 -1 1 -5
(note how the above 3 rows represent the 3 equations, just got rid of the variables, plus sign and equals sign)
subtract row1 from row3, that eliminates x and z from row 3.
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 -2 0 -6
divide row3 by -2, that will give y a factor of 1
1 1 1 1
2 1 -1 8
0 1 0 3
The last row now says y=3

Answer:
6/20, 3:5, 50/100 are all less than 8/10
Step-by-step explanation:
It can help to give all the ratios a common denominator. (We'll use 100, and fudge the last one a bit.)
8/10 = 80/100 . . . . our reference value
__
6/20 = 30/100 . . . less than 8/10
3/5 = 60/100 . . . . less than 8/10
50/100 . . . . . . . . . less than 8/10
13/15 ≈ 86.7/100 . . . more than 8/10
Answer: 57/40 or 1 17/40
Step-by-step explanation: 2 1/2 - 3/8 = 17/8 or 2 1/8
17/8 or 2 1/8 - 7/10 = 57/40 or 1 17/40
Answer:
They are rational numbers.
