For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.
For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!
I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
In the next 25 years, Larry will be 35 years old, while his sister will be 3 years less than him which is 32 years old for his sister, since his sister is 3 years younger.
<h3>The value of y is equal to 1.</h3><h3>The value of x is equal to 4.</h3>
Because both equations have a term that will cancel out if they're added together, we're going to add both equations together.
-5x + 5x = 0
13y + 4y = 17y
-7 + 24 = 17
17y = 17
Divide both sides by 17.
y = 1
Now that we have a constant value of y, we can solve for x.
-5x + 13(1) = -7
-5x + 13 = -7
Subtract 13 from both sides.
-5x = -20
Divide both sides by -5.
x = 4
2-4y. Reorder the terms, then Write the division as a fraction, then Factor the expression, then Reduce the fraction.
