Answer:

11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make both fractions have the same denominator, then it would be 4/12 + a = 15/12, so 15 - 4 = 11. So the answer would be 11/12.

The x coordinate of the solution to the system of equations y=x+4 and 3y=-2x+2
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is:

x=-2

<h2>Why?</h2>

We can solve the problem writing both equations as a system of equations.

So, we are given the equations:

\left \{ {{y=x+4} \atop {3y=-2x+2}} \right.

Then, solving by reduction we have:

Multiplying the first equation by 2 in order to reduce the variable "x", we have:

\left \{ {{2y=2x+2*4} \atop {3y=-2x+2}} \right.

5y=2x-2x+8+2\\\\5y=8+2\\\\y=\frac{10}{5}=2

Now, substituting "y" into the first equation, to isolate "x" we have:

y=x+4\\\\2=x+4\\\\x=2-4=-2

Hence we have that the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is

x=-2

Have a nice day!

M×10-m×2=8 fill in the blanks as m
son4ous [18]
M*10-m*2=8
10m-2m=8
8m=8
Divide both sides by 8:
m=8

Fill in the m's:
1*10-1*2=8
10-2=8
8=8

Hope this helps :)

The product of 2 consecutive positive odd integers is 483. Write the equation that would be used to find x, the smaller integer.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,

x × (x+2) = 483

x² + 2x = 483

x² + 2x - 483 = 0

x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0

x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0

(x - 21) = 0

x = 0 + 21

x = 21

The smaller integer is 21

The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.

I don’t understand how to do this? please help
xenn [34]

Answer:

K = -72

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8

2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72

To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.
