Answer:
The key is finding a common # on the bottom (aka: a common 'denominator')
once you do this, you can easily add and subtract them!
Step-by-step explanation:
EX:
1/2 + 2/3 = ?
<u>*EASIEST TRICK!!*</u>
take your 2nd denominator: (3) and multiply it by the entire (1st fraction): 1/2
<em>(when we MULTIPLY fractions, it is easy as pie, we can just multiply across the top and across the bottom) in this case, we will multiply both top and bottom by the 2nd denominator (3)</em>
(1 x 3)/(2 x 3) = 3/6 <em>(3/6 is another way of saying 1/2, so we're good!)</em>
now take the 1st denominator (2), and multiply the entire 2nd fraction by that:
(2 x 2)/(3 x 2) = 4/6
<em>now we have 6 on the bottom of both! time for the magic:</em>
3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6
but wait! (that means we have 7 slices of a 6-piece pie! ...so we <em>actually </em>have, 1 full (6-piece pie) and 1 slice leftover! <em>(awww yeeea)</em>
<em>so, 7/6</em><em> --> </em><em>1 </em><em>(full pie) </em><em>1/6 </em><em>(leftover!)</em>
<u><em>now to put it all back together:</em></u>
1/2 + 2/3 = 1 & 1/6
You solve for one variable like
y-5x=2
"y=5x+2"
9x+3y=58
and you plug it in into the other equation
9x+3(5x+2)=58
You solve for x and then plug in your answer for x into the other equation
*let's imagine x=8*
then:
y-5(8)=2
and solve for y

The set of ordered pairs are
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the relation
To find the set of ordered pairs, let us substitute the value for x in the relation
For ,
The ordered pair is
For ,
The ordered pair is
For ,
The ordered pair is
For ,
The ordered pair is
For ,
The ordered pair is
Thus, the set of ordered pairs is
Where is table that has to be completed
Answer: p(-1) = -15
Step-by-step:
Plug -1 into the equation in place of q.
p(-1) = (-1)^2 + 4(-1) - 12
p(-1) = (-1)^2 - 4 - 12
p(-1) = (-1)^2 -16
p(-1) = 1 - 16
p(-1) = -15
