An irrational number is a number which cannot be expressed in a ratio of two integers. In rational numbers, both numerator and denominator are whole numbers, where the denominator is not equal to zero. While an irrational number cannot be written in a fraction.
Answer:
x = 8, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating corresponding x and y coordinates , then
- y = - x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )
y = x - 5 → (1)
2x - 5y = 1 → (2)
Substitute y = x - 5 into (2)
2x - 5(x - 5) = 1 ← distribute and simplify left side
2x - 5x + 25 = 1
- 3x + 25 = 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
- 3x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 8 - 5 = 3
Unfortunately you have not included the directions. Are you supposed to solve for x? or for y?
Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x." Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10. This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.
The answer to your question should be b
