Which number produces an irrational number when multiplied by 0.4

Assuming 0.4 is in fact, 2 divided by 5 (and not an approximation of some number that would require an infinite amount of decimal places to exactly express), then multiplication by 0.4 is the same as multiplying by 2 and dividing by 5.

This means that multiplying any rational number by 2/5 will yield another rational number (as given x/y as an input, where x and y are integers, and multiplying it by 2/5 giving 2x/5y, will mean that 2x and 5y are also integers, and the result is also rational)

If we multiply an irrational number by 2/5, however, the result will be irrational.

So your answer is any number not in the set of rational numbers, multiplied by 0.4, will yield an irrational number.

Solve the system of equations using substitution and Elimination

juin [17]

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = $\frac{-18}{7}$ and x = $\frac{50}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve simultaneous equations, you need to have the number in front of both x's or y's the same. (signs doesn't matter)

To get -x to -10x we simply need to multiply the first equation by 10:

-x * 10 = -10x

-9y * 10 = -90y

16 * 10 = 160

-10x - 90y = 160

Now we can add the two equations:

-10x + 10x = 0

-90y + 20y = -70y

160 + 20 = 180

-70y = 180

70y = -180

7y = -18

y = $\frac{-18}{7}$

Now plug $\frac{-18}{7}$ into the second equation:

10x + 20( $\frac{-18}{7}$ ) = 20

10x - $\frac{360}{7}$ = 20

Move the $\frac{360}{7}$ over to the other side, making it a positive:

10x = 20 + $\frac{360}{7}$

10x = $\frac{500}{7}$

Divide both sides by 10:

x = $\frac{50}{7}$

So y = $\frac{-18}{7}$ and x = $\frac{50}{7}$
