<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1

ElenaW [278]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

We have that:

$\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}$

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

$\frac{5}{6}$

and

$\frac{5}{6}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

We have that:

$1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}$

So, we have that the pair of numbers

$\frac{6}{7}$

and

$\frac{12}{7}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

$\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}$

and

$3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}$

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

Assume ABC Company deposits $90,000 with First National Bank in an account earning interest at 6% per annum, compounded and semi

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: A) $120,953

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the compound amount (semi-annually):-

$A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{2})^{2n}$ , where P is principal amount , r is rate of interest and n is the number of time periods.

Given : Principal amount : P= $90,000

Rate of interest : 6% per annum = 0.06 per annum

Time period : n= 5 years

$A=(90000)(1+\dfrac{0.06}{2})^{2\times5}=120952.474141\approx 120,953$

Hence, the ABC will have $ 120,953 in the account after five years if interest is reinvested.
