Answer:

82/333

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x = 0.246 (repeating). Multiply both sides by 1000:

1000x = 246.246 (repeating)

Now we can subtract these two:

1000x = 246.246 (repeating)

- x = 0.246 (repeating)

_________________________

999x = 246 (the repeating decimal part cancels out)

Divide both sides by 999:

x = 246/999 = 82/333

Hope this helps!

Which expression is equivalent to the product of p+7/3 and 6/p , where p is not equal to 0?

vichka [17]

Answer:

$\frac{(6p+14)}{p}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(p+\frac{7}{3})(\frac{6}{p})$

Making denominator same in first bracket we get

$(\frac{3p+7}{3})(\frac{6}{p})$

$(\frac{(3p+7)*6}{3*p})$

Dividing 6 by 3 we get 2

$(\frac{(3p+7)*2}{p})$

using distributive law

$(\frac{6p+14}{p})\\$

Hence this is our answer

You need to solve a system of equations. You decide to use the elimination method. Which of these is not allowed? 3x-2y=7 equati

svetlana [45]

Answer:

x = 31/9 and y = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3x - 2y = 7 -----(1)

3x + 4y = 17 ----(2)

<u>To find the solution by elimination method</u>

Step 1: Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)

3x - 2y = 7 -----(1)

<u> 3x + 4y = 17 </u>----(2)

0 - 6y = -10

6y = 10

y = 10/6 = 5/3

Step 2: Substitute the value of y in eq (1)

3x - 2y = 7 -----(1)

3x - 2*(5/3) = 7

3x = 7 + 10/3

3x = 31/3

x = 31/9

Therefore x = 31/9 and y = 5/3
