You simplify a fraction by finding it's greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is what both numbers are divisible by. If they can both be divided by two, then you've simplified them a little bit. Keep going until you can't find a common number that can be divided by the two, and you've got your simplified fraction. For example, 10/5 = 1/2 since both 10 and 5 is divisible by 5.
Answer:
for m∠SRQ x = 3
for m∠QRP x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 6x +2. 6 is being multiplied by a number so to find that number we do teh opposite
6x/2 = 3
drop the x then u have x = 3
2. 2x+10. 2 is being muliplied by a number so to find that number we do teh opposite
10/2x = 5
drop the x then u have x = 5
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Elimination Method is the method for solving a pair of linear equations which reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable.
If the coefficients of one variable are opposites, you add the equations to eliminate a variable, and then solve.
If the coefficients are not opposites, then we multiply one or both equations by a number to create opposite coefficients, and then add the equations to eliminate a variable and solve.
When multiplying the equation by a coefficient, we multiply both sides of the equation (multiplying both sides of the equation by some nonzero number does not change the solution).
So, option B is not allowed (it is not allowed to multiply only one part of the equation)
When dividing two fractions, it is important to know to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal means basically a flipped fraction. 2/3 as a reciprocal is 3/2, etc.
1/3 / 1/2= 1/3 x 2/1=2/3
