There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!
Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0
Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.
0.7 + y + z = 6.0
Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.
0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3
Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.
2.6 + z = 5.3
And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.
2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7
And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>
B. 12/18
Upon simplifying this fraction (taking a 3 out of the numerator and denominator), you end with 4/6
Answer:
b = 10
-2d = -38
x = -1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
b = 10 and x = -1.2 only have one variable. You can divide -2 to both sides for -2d = -38 getting d = 19.
0.1 = 0.1 have no variable meaning that any number can be correct in the equation
1/3 ≠ 1/3 has a cross in the equal sign meaning that there is no correct answer for the equation.
Answer:
If each Watermelon costs $8.96, you can buy two
3 / 5 = (x+1) / (y-2)
↓
↓ multiply by 5 / 3
↓
1 = 5 * (x+1) / 3 * (y-2)
↓
↓ move and simplify
↓
5x + 5 = 3y - 6
↓
↓ minus 5
↓
5x = 3y - 11
↓
↓ divide by 5
↓
Answer : x = (3y - 11) / 5
