To do this, divide 9 by 5. it is one, with a remainder of 4. so the 4 goes over 5 as a fraction. the answer is then 1 4/5
Answer:
s = 6, r = 8 or s = 4, r = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2r - s = 10
2r = 10 + s
r = 5 + s/2 --(1)
rs - s^2 = 12 --(2)
sub (1) into (2):
(5 + s/2)s - s^2 = 12
5s + 0.5s^2 - s^2 = 12
-0.5s^2 + 5s - 12 = 0
s^2 - 10s + 24 = 0
(s - 6)(s - 4) = 0
therefore s = 6 or s = 4
when s = 6, r = 8 and when s = 4, r = 7

Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price.
He got 30% off
The discount is .30x
Subtract this from the original price to get the price he paid
x - .30x = price he paid
.70x = price he paid
.70x = 35
Divide each side by .7
.70x/.7 = 35/.7
x=50
20 and 45x
We look for a number that can go into both numbers.
5 into 20 is 4 and 5 into 45x is 9x.
5: 20 45x
4 9x
So no other number can go into 4 and 9x again.
So the GCF of 20 and 45x is 5.
Hope this explains it.
