Simplify the following:
(3 + 1/3)/(2 + 2/5)
Put 2 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 2 + 2/5 = (5×2)/5 + 2/5:
(3 + 1/3)/((5×2)/5 + 2/5)
5×2 = 10:
(3 + 1/3)/(10/5 + 2/5)
10/5 + 2/5 = (10 + 2)/5:
(3 + 1/3)/((10 + 2)/5)
10 + 2 = 12:
(3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
Put 3 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 1/3 = (3×3)/3 + 1/3:
((3×3)/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
3×3 = 9:
(9/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
9/3 + 1/3 = (9 + 1)/3:
((9 + 1)/3)/(12/5)
9 + 1 = 10:
(10/3)/(12/5)
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (10/3)/(12/5) = 10/3×5/12:
(10×5)/(3×12)
The gcd of 10 and 12 is 2, so (10×5)/(3×12) = ((2×5) 5)/(3 (2×6)) = 2/2×(5×5)/(3×6) = (5×5)/(3×6):
(5×5)/(3×6)
3×6 = 18:
(5×5)/18
5×5 = 25:
Answer: 25/18
Answer:
18 is divisible by both 2 and 9, you can multiply 9 by 2 to get 18, and 18 is a multiple of both of those numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 2x-2y=10 by 2,
4x-4y=20,
given:4x-5y=17
y=3
pluck it in
2x-6=10
move the 6 to the right
2x=16
divide
x=8
y=3
I found the answer to this by first dividing 34 by 4 to get 8.5. We already know what 4 divided by 4 is. For every one pound of almonds, it costs $8.50. Since we know that we need to find out how much it costs for 5 pounds of almonds, we simply multiply 8.5 by 5 to get 42.5. It costs $42.50 to buy 5 pounds of almonds.
If you need to solve this equation you can multiply the both side of equation on (-1). Like that
<span>2 = (-x);
-1·2 = (-1)·(-x)
if you multiply negative and </span><span>positive </span>you'll have negative,
if you multiply negative and <span>negative you'll have </span><span><span>positive. So
</span>
</span>-2 = x. or
x = -2.
The answer is -2.
