Fraction strips are rectangular pieces (electronic or copied on paper strips) to represent different parts of the same whole. They can be cut apart and manipulated to see how various parts can be added together to make the whole or compare different fractional amounts for equivalency
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
DH = HF and GH = HE
x + 5 = 2y
3x - 1 = 5y + 4
Solve the first equation for x.
x = 2y - 5
Now substitute 2y - 5 for x in the second equation.
3(2y - 5) - 1 = 5y + 4
6y - 15 - 1 = 5y + 4
6y - 16 = 5y + 4
y = 20
Now substitute 20 for y in the first original equation.
x + 5 = 2y
x + 5 = 2(20)
x + 5 = 40
x = 35
Answer: x = 35 and y = 20
