Answer:

12/17 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

12/17 is greater than 5/8 because to determine which fraction is greater you need to have the same denominator. To get the same denominator I multiplied 17 by 8 and 8 by 17. Since what you do the denominator you have to do the same to the numerator, you would multiply 12 by 8 and 5 by 17 which would lead you to get 12/17= 96/136 and 5/8= 85/136. So, 96/136 > 85/136.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

length: 6 inches

width: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. Then the length is (n+2) and the width is (2n-1). The product of these dimensions is the area:

42 = (n+2)(2n -1) = 2n^2 +3n -2

2n^2 +3n -44 = 0 . . . . subtract 42

(n -4)(2n +11) = 0 . . . . . factor

n = 4 . . . . . . . . we aren't interested in the negative solution

Length = 4+2 = 6 . . . inches

Width = 2·4 -1 = 7 . . . inches

Solve the system of equations
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

add 2y to both sides 5x=2y+88

subtract 88 from both sides 2y=5x-88

substitute 2y in the second equation for 5x-88

3x+10x-176=58

add like terms 13x-176=58

add 176 both sides

13x=234

x=18
