A reciprocal of a fraction is the opposite of a fraction. You get the reciprocal by switching the places of the numerator and the denominator. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1 (or 2).

11. A square-shaped floor is covered with congruent square tiles. If the total number of tiles that lie on the two diagonals is

natita [175]

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Since the number of tiles lying on both diagonals is 37. Let x represent the number of tiles on each side.

Counting one tile twice, there are:

37=2x-1
x=19 tiles on each side.

19² = 361

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

Solve the system of equations by substitution. 3/8 x + 1/3 y =17/24 and <br> x + 7y = 8

goblinko [34]

$\left \{ {{ \frac{3}{8}x+ \frac{1}{3}y = \frac{17}{14} } \atop {x+7y=8}} \right.$

To solve this system by substitution, first isolate x in the second equation.

$x+7y=8$
$x+7y-7y=8-7y$
$x=8-7y$

Now, plug this expression ( $8-7y$ ) for x in the top equation to solve for y.

$\frac{3}{8} (8-7y)+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{14}$
$3- \frac{21}{8} y+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}$
$72-63y+8y=17$
$72-55y=17$
$-55y=17-72$
$-55y=-55$
$y=1$

Now that you have y, plug it into the second equation and solve for x.

$x+7y=8$
$x+7(1)=8$
$x+7=8$
$x=1$

Last step is to plug your x- and y-values in to both equations to check your work.

$\frac{3}{8} (1)+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}$

$\frac{3}{8} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{9}{24} ; \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8}{8} = \frac{8}{24}$

$\frac{9}{24} + \frac{8}{24} = \frac{17}{24}$ <--True

$1+7(1)=8$
$1+7=8$ <--True

Answer:
$x=1 \\ y=1$

Write x2 - 12x + 8 = 0 in vertex form.

antiseptic1488 [7]

(x-4)^2-19=y
you first add the three to the other side, then add 16 on both sides, make the left side x-4 squared, and lastly you subtract 19 from both sides.
