Answer: 17/18

In words, this is seventeen eighteenths

==========================================

Work Shown:

4/9 + 9/18

8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below

(8+9)/18

17/18

----------------

note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.

The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.

In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.

A gallery has 25 paintings in its permanent collection, with display space for 10 at one time. How many different collections ca

Anastaziya [24]

You need to know in how many ways you can choose 10 out of 25 items when order does not matter. This is a combination problem.

$_{n}C_{r} = \dfrac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{25!}{(25 - 10)!10!}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{25 \times 24 \times 23 \times 22 \times 21 \times 20 \times 19 \times 18 \times 17 \times 16 \times 15!}{15! \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{25 \times 24 \times 23 \times 22 \times 21 
\times 20 \times 19 \times 18 \times 17 \times 16}{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 
\times 2 \times 1}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{23 \times 11 \times 20 \times 19 \times 2 \times 17}{1}$

$_{25}C_{10} = 23 \times 11 \times 20 \times 19 \times 2 \times 17$

$_{25}C_{10} = 3,268,760$

(2x+y=-2 5x + 3y = -8 Solve by elimination

Effectus [21]

Answer:

y = -6, x =2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve by elimination, you have to line both equations up together. Then, you multiply both equations until one variable is removed.

2x+y = -2

5x + 3y = - 8

There are many different ways to solve an elimination problem, but generally you should look for the simplest route. Here, I would multiply the top equation by -3.

-6x -3y = 6

5x +3y = -8

Imagine you are adding the two equations together. You end up with

-x = -2

Then solve for x. In this situation, it is fairly simple. Take out a factor of -1.

x = 2

Finally, choose one of your beginning equations and plug your new-found x value back into the equation.

2(2) +y = -2

4 + y = -2

y = -6
