Convert 1 3/5 to an improper fraction;
-1 × 5 + 3/5 ÷ -2/3
Simplify 1 × 5 to 5
-5 + 3/5 ÷ -2/3
Simplify 5 + 3 to 8
-8/5 ÷ -2/3
Use this rule: a ÷ b/c = a × c/b
-8/5 × 3/-2
Use this rule; a/b × c/d = ac/bd
-8 × 3/5 × - 2
Simplify 8 × 3 to 24
-24/5 × -2
Simplify 5 × -2 to -10
- 24/-10
Move the negative sing to the left

6-6a=3a-3b+1, 9a-3b=5
<span>4b - 8 =3a, 3a-4b=-8
</span>
9a-3b=5
(3a-4b=-8 )*(-3 )
9a -3b= 5
-9a+12b=+24
adding both equations
9b=29, b=29/9
3a=4b-8=4*29/9 -8=(4*29-8*9)/9 = 44/9
a=44/27
a-b=44/27 - 29/9=44/27 - 29*3/27=-43/27
this is a correct answer, unfortunately they do not have this choice, probably they made mistake somewhere. I even check the solution of equations by substitution values of a and b into equations
The angle measure is 78/2 degrees. that would simplify down to 39 degrees. I don't remember the theroem but I do know that the angle is half the side length angle measure
According to the theorem:
"If a side is longer than the other sides, then the angle opposite to the longer side is the larger angle.
Here it says that , it will be smallest which is false.
Answer: False
