What is the value of x in the solution to this system of equations? у + 2x = — 1 у = х +4

1 answer:

8 0

I believe the answer is -5/3

Y+2x=-1 could become y=-2x-1 and then set that and x+4 equal to each other -2x-1=x+4 and add 2x to both sides to get -1=3x+4 and subtract by 4 on both sides to get -5=3x then divide by 3 and get -5/3=x

What is a reasonable estimate for the problem ? -3/2 multiply by ( -5 1/4 )

Nat2105 [25]

= -3/2 * -5 1/4
convert 5 1/4 to improper fraction

= -3/2 * -21/4
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

= (-3*-21)/(2*4)
multiply in parentheses

= 63/8
convert back to mixed number

= 7 7/8

ANSWER: Since the exact answer is the mixed number 7 7/8, a reasonable estimate is 8.

Hope this helps! :)

faltersainse [42]

Step-by-step explanation:

OK so

Tomatoes = 2 3/8 = 19/8 (turned into improper fraction)

Asparagus = 1 1/4 =5/4

Potatoes = 2 7/8 = 23/8

Total vegetables used =

19/8 + 5/4 + 23/8 = 42/8 + 5/4 = 42+10/8 =52/8
