The fraction is 27/30. It is equivalent to 9/10 and 27 + 30 = 57.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I think its substitution
Answer:
x = 1
y= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this system of equation , simultaneously using the substitution method
we say let
7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
from equation 2
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
2x - 4 = y
y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3
put the value of the y = 2x -4 into equation 1
7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1
7x + 2x - 4 = 5
9x-4 = 5
9x = 5 + 4
9x = 9
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 9
9x/9 = 9/9
x = 1
substitute the value of x = 1 into equation 3
y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3
y = 2(1) -4
y = 2 - 4
y = -2
to check if you are correct put the value of x and y into any of the equations and you will see that the left hand side will be equal to the right hand side.
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
2(1) -(-2) = 4
2 + 2 = 4
4=4................................... proved
<span>A word problem that can be modeled by addition of two negative numbers integers is given as followed.
Evans and Irvin are standing at the same spot. Evans took 7 steps backwards and another 7 steps backward, what is the current position of Evans relative to where Irvin is standing?
To solve the above, we note that Evans </span><span>took 7 steps backwards and another 7 steps backward, thus his current position relative to Irvin is given by (-7) + (-7) = -7 - 7 = -14.
Therefore, Evans is 14 steps backwards relative to where Irvin is standing.
