Answer:

6.8x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question I combined like terms:

(2.5x + 4.3x) - 5

2.5x + 4.3x = 6.8x

Then you add the 5 to the end of the expression:

6.8x - 5

Well, is namely their difference, so, let's first convert the mixed fractions to "improper", and subtract.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{30\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{30\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{61}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{100\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{100\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{403}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{61}{2}-\cfrac{403}{4}\impliedby \textit{so our \underline{LCD is 4}}\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 61)~-~(1\cdot 403)}{4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{122-403}{4}\implies \cfrac{-281}{4}\implies -70\frac{1}{4}$

Find the point of intersection (if any) of the following pairs of lines: a) x – 2y +1=0 2x + 3y – 7 = 0 b) x-2y+11=0 -x+2y-13 =

pychu [463]

Answer:

a) (11/7, 9/7)

b) There's no point of intersection

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x - 2y + 1 = 0

2x + 3y - 7 = 0

To find the point of intersection, we need to solve the system of equations and the result will be the point of intersection (x,y)

$x-2y+1=0\\x= 2y-1$
