Adding fractions is easy when you get the rules...
10/12 + 6/12...
add the numerator which is the top, and keep the denominator which is the bottom.
10/12 +6/12 = 16/12
change that into a mixed number
16/12 = 1 4/12 which is simplified to 1 1/3
hope this helps
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 × 5/8
Multiply the numerators and denominators respectively
15/40
Simplify
3/8
Do you mean this way?
y - 3 = 1/2x + 1 => y = 1/2x + 4
6x - y = 31 so y = 6x - 31
substitute y = 6x - 31 into 3x + 7y = 8
3x + 7y = 8
3x + 7(6x - 31) = 8
3x + 42x -217 = 8
45x = 225
x = 5
y = 6x - 31
y = 6(5) - 31
y = 30 - 31
y = -1
answer
x = 5 and y = -1
