Answer:
The answer is 10/36 or if you want to simplify, 5/18
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the sides with each other, so 5/12 x 2/3 is 10/36 (unsimplified) . You multiply the numerators and then the denominators and simplify.
Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y
Then the pair of equations
-3/x + 4/y = 11
1/x - 2/y = -5
Can be written as
-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)
u - 2v = -5......................................(2)
From (2)
u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)
Substituting (3) into (1)
-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11
-6v + 15 + 4v = 11
-6v + 4v = 11 - 15
-2v = -4
v = 4/2 = 2
Substituting this value of v in (3)
u = 2v - 5
u = 2(2) - 5
= 4 - 5
= -1
That is
u = -1, v = 2
Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have
1/x = -1
=> x = -1
And
1/y = 2
=> y = 1/2
Therefore
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Answer:
1 1/4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 + 2/4 (1/2 = 2/4) = 5/4 = 1 1/4
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x _1
4 - 2 / 3 - (-1) = 2/4 = 1/2
y +4 = 1/2 (x + 3) distributive property
y + 4 = 1/2x + 1.5
y= 1/2x - 5/2 subtraction (you subtract 4 from both sides) (-5/2 = -2.5)
therefore your equation is y = 1/2x - 5/2
hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = 6
y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
By adding both equations :-
=》-4x -2y + 4x + 8y = -12 + (-24)
=》-4x + 4x + 8y - 2y = -12 - 24
=》6y = -36
=》y = -36 ÷ 6
=》y = -6
putting the value of y in equation 2
=》4x + 8y = -24
=》4x + (8 × -6) = -24
=》4x - 48= -24
=》4x = 48 - 24
=》x = 24 / 4
=》x = 6
