Answer:
x = -2/5
y = 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitution method;
-2x + 3y = 8 -----------(i)
x + y =2 -----------(ii)
x = 2 - y
substitute the value of x in equ (i)
(-2)* (2-y) + 3y = 8
-4 + 2y + 3y = 8
5y = 8 + 4
y = 12/5
substitute the value of y in equ (ii)
x + 12/5 = 2
x = 2 - 12/5
= 2*5/1*5 - 12/5
= 10 -12/5 = -2/5
Ans: x = -2/5
y = 12/5
elimination method:
-2x + 3y = 8 -----------(i)
x + y =2 -----------(ii)
(i) ====> -2x + 3y = 8
multiply equ (ii) by 2 ====> <u> 2x + 2y = 4</u>
add (i) and (ii) 5y = 12
y = 12/5
Substitute in equ (ii)
x + 12/5 = 2
x = 2 - 12/5
= 2*5/1*5 - 12/5
= 10 -12/5 = -2/5
Ans: x = -2/5
y = 12/5
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
● (-3/8) ÷(-1/4)
Flip the second fraction by putting 1 instead 4 and vice versa.
● (-3/8)* (-4/1)
-4 over 1 is -4 since dividing by 1 gives the same number.
● (-3/8)*(-4)
Eliminate the - signs in both fractions since multiplying two negative numbers by each other gives a positive number.
●( 3/8)*4
● (3*4/8)
8 is 2 times 4
● (3*4)/(4*2)
Simplify by eliminating 4 in the fraction.
● 3/2
The result is 3/2
Answer:
150 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.
Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.
3*2=6
20*6=120
Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.
10*3=30
120+30=150
The actual distance is 150 miles.
Hope this helps!
