Answer:

(1/3 - 5/6) / 5/6

You want to make 1/3 and 5/6 have the same denominator so you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. You plug that back into your equation to get: (2/6 - 5/6) / 5/6. 2/6 - 5/6 is -3/6. -3/6 divided by 5/6 is -3/6 multiplied by 6/5 which is -3/5.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 442 square feet. The length is 11 feet, and the height is 8 feet. What is the width o
Orlov [11]
There are 6 surfaces on a rectangular prism . 3 pairs of equal area.

Surface area  2wl + 2hw + 2 hl     where h = height, w = width,  l = length.

So inserting the given values:-

442 = 2*w*11 + 2 *8* w + 2*8*11

442 = 22w  + 16w + 176

38w =  442-176 = 266

w =  7

width = 7 feet

arsen [322]

Answer: 1 cup of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe for banana bread requires 3 cups of bananas for every 1 1/2 cups of sugar used.

Converting 1 1/2 cups of sugar to improper fraction becomes 3/2 cups of sugar.

If 3 cups of bananas is required for 3/2 cups of sugar,

x cups of bananas will require 1 cup of sugar

3x / 2 = 3

3x = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

Therefore,

2 cups of bananas will require 1 cup of sugar.

We are looking for the number of cups of sugar that would require 2 cups of bananas.

We already got the answer.

1 cup of sugar would be used if 2 cups of bananas are used.

Solve using the method of elimination and determine if the system has 1 solution, no solutions, or infinite solutions
xeze [42]

Answer:

(3,1) --> One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying the first equation by 4:

-7x(4)+2y(4)=-19(4)

     -28x+8y=-76

In this scenario, we can eliminate 8y by subtracting the two equations:

-34x=-102

Divide both sides by -34

x=3

Plug 3 back in for x to solve for y

-7(3)+2y=-19

-21+2y=-19

Add 21 to both sides

2y=2

Divide both sides by 2

y=1

(x,y)=(3,1)
