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.

Convert the angle \theta=\dfrac{8\pi}{9}θ=

Olegator [25]

Answer:

160°

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the angle in radians as $\theta=\dfrac{8\pi}{9}\ rad$

-We know that $1 \ rad=\frac{180}{\pi}\textdegree$

-Let our angle theta be X

#We therefore equate and cross multiply:

$1\ rad=\frac{180}{\pi}\\\\\frac{8\pi}{9}=x\\\\\therefore X=\frac{180}{\pi}\times \frac{8\pi}{9}\\\\=160\textdegree$

Hence, angle θ is 160°

solve the following systems of equations. Express your answer as an ordered pair in the format(a,b), with no spaces between the

kodGreya [7K]

If you multiply the top equation by -2 you get:

-4x -14y = 14 => -4x = 14+14y

now you can plug in the -4x into the second equation:

14+14y - 3y = -19 => 11y = -33 => y=-3

Fill in y=-3 in either equation to find x:

2x - 21 = -7 => 2x = 14 => x=7

So your ordered pair is (7,-3)
