<span>So
let’s simplify the given situation.
We need to find out how much heavier is 91/8 lbs. compare to 2 5/6 lbs.
Since, it’s a combination of whole number and fraction; we cannot directly
subtract this given equation. We need to convert the two given number into a
fraction.
9 1/8 = 8 x 9 = 72 + 1 = 73, 73 is our numerator and 8 is our denominator
=> 73/8
2 5/6 = 6 x 2 = 12 + 5 = 17, 17 is our numerator and 6 is our denominator
=> 17/6
Now, we have 2 fractions with unlike denominator. In order to get a common
denominator, we have to find their least common factor.
=> <u>73</u> - <u>17 </u> = <u>73 x 6 </u> - <u>17 x 8 </u> <u>
</u> 8 6
8 x 6 6
x 8</span><span>
=> <u>438</u> – <u>136 </u> Now, we
have the same denominator, subtract</span><span>
48 48
=> <u>302 </u> or <u>151</u>
48 24
=> 6 <u>7</u>
24
Therefore 9 1/8 lbs. is 6 7/24 lbs. heavier than 2 5/6 lbs.</span>
<span>2x+3y=3
</span><span>-3x-2y=8
3y=3-2x
-2y = 8+3x
y = 1 - 2x/3
y = -4 - 3x/2
</span>1 - 2x/3 = -4 - 3x/2
5 = - 3x/2 + 2x/3
5 = -9x/6 + 4x/6
5 = -5x/6
x = 5 * 6/-5
x = -6
No plug it in.
<span>2x+3y=3 ; x = -6
-12 + 3y = 3
3y=3+12
3y=15
y = 5
So </span>x = -6 and y = 5
I say UV is the biggest thanks to my vision lol; and cuz I used a ruler.
