NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer:

9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to make 1 1/4 an improper fraction so since the denominator is 4 you add 4 to the numerator which is 1 so your fraction would be 5/4.

Second you make the denominators the same so you have to multiply them together. but since your multiplying the denominators you have to multiply the numerator as well. so for 5/4 you would multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 so your fraction will now be 50/40. now you  multiply 8/10 by 4 so your new fraction is now 32/40

Third you subtract. you only have to subtract the numerators so 50-32 is 18 so your answer is 18/40

Last you need to simplify the highest number you can divide both of them by is 2 so now you divide 18 by 2 which makes 9 then you divide 40 by 2 which is 20 so your answer is 9/20

Sorry i'm not the best at explaining things but i tried my best

Hope this helps you out and have a great day : )

Select whether each equation has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  5x - 7 = 5x becomes -7 = 0 if 5x is subtracted from both sides.  This result is never true, so NO SOLUTION

B)3x−9=3(x−3)   Performing the indicated multiplication, we get

3x - 9 = 3x - 9.  This is always true, so there are INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS

C)2x−6=−2(x−3)   Performing the indicated multiplication, we get

2x - 6 = -2x + 6.  Adding 2x - 6 to both sides results in

4x - 12 = 0, or 4x = 12.  Thus, the solution is x = 3.  ONE SOLUTION

D)2x+6−5x=−3(x             This equation is incomplete

X+y=5<br> x×y=6<br> Solve simultaneously with steps
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

(3, 2), (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

xy = 6

Solve the first equation for x.

x = 5 - y

Substitute 5 - y for x in the second equation.

xy = 6

(5 - y)y = 6

5y - y² = 6

y² - 5y + 6 = 0

Factor.

(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

y - 2 = 0  or y - 3 = 0

y = 2  or y = 3

Now substitute 2 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

One solution is x = 3; y = 2, or (3, 2).

Now substitute 3 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 3 = 5

x = 2

Another solution is x = 2; y = 3, or (3, 2).

Answer: (3, 2), (2, 3)

Answer:

a^2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the numerator simplifies to 5a^3 and the bottom is 15a. we can use our exponent rules to subtract exponents, so it is 1/3(a^2). this simplifies to a^2/3.
