The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.
A) x * y = 42 (or x = 42/y)
B) x + y = 23
B) 42/y + y = 23
42 + y^2 = 23y
y^2 -23y + 42 = 0
The numbers are 21 and 2
Answer:
80 sq.in
Step-by-step explanation:
One square's side = 4in
One square's area = 16 sq. in
16 x 5 = 80 sq.in
Hope that helps!
