0.625 which is approximately equal to 0.63 is 5/8 in decimal form.
The second equation is <span>-5-2y=2, then

<span>-2y=2-(-5),
</span>
-2y=2+5,
-2y=7,
y=7÷(-2),
y=-3.5.
The first equation is 2x+5y=16, subtitude y=-3.5 in this equation, then
2x+5·(-3.5)=16,
2x-17.5=16,
2x=16-(-17.5),
2x=16+17.5,
2x=33.5,
x=33.5÷2,
x=16.75.
Answer: (16.75,-3.5)
Simple,
1/2 of 60
re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60
which is 0.5*60=30
Do the same with 1/2 of 24.
0.5 of 24
0.5*24=12.
Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.
