She lived there 8 years
1/9 of 18 is 2.
So 4/9 of 18 = 4*2 = 8
So Sara lived in Rochester for 8 years.
Answer:
Fractions are equal when one fraction can be obtained from the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
equality means a relationship between two quantities or, more generally two mathematical expressions, asserting that the quantities have the same value, or that the expressions represent the same mathematical object.
Answer:
{x = -3
, y=2 (Isolved for both variables be elimination)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{3 x + 5 y = 1 | (equation 1)
7 x + 4 y = -13 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{7 x + 4 y = -13 | (equation 1)
3 x + 5 y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3/7 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{7 x + 4 y = -13 | (equation 1)
0 x+(23 y)/7 = 46/7 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 7/23:
{7 x + 4 y = -13 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)
Subtract 4 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{7 x+0 y = -21 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 7:
{x+0 y = -3 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -3
, y=2
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
