I'm going to use the substitution method.
If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:
1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7
Combine like terms:
4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)
Simplify to get:
x = - 6.
Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.
Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.
X = - 6, Y = 2
1) Expression 1: 16x^3 y
2) Expression 2: 24 xy^5
Procedure:
1) find the greatest common factor of the coefficients, 16 and 24:
16 = 2^4
24 = (2^3)*3
=> greatest common factor = 2^3 = 8
2) find the greatest common factor of x^3 y and xy^5
That is the common letters each raised to the lowest power:
=> xy
3) Then, the result is 8xy
2(4x+5)>7x+20 perform indicated multiplication on left side
8x+10>7x+20 subtract 7x from both sides
x+10>20 subtract 10 from both sides
x>10
or in interval notation, x=(10, +oo)
Answer:
12/4
Step-by-step explanation:
4/4 is 1
1/4 is well 1/4
2 2/4 is 2 1/2
12/4 is 3
the greatest fraction is 3
