Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
3/12=1/4
2 1/4=9/4
8/12=2/3
1 2/3=5/3
---------------
9/4-5/3=27/12-20/12=7/12
We can say that x is the largest number.
So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5
Now solve for x:
x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5
5x - 10 = -5
5x = 5
x = 1
So the largest number is 1.
Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3 = -2 + -3 = -5 so 1 is correct.
Answer:
a.
500x+0.04=y
400x+0.05=y
for percentages move decimal to the left twice
Answer:
x = 4 , y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine / tangent ratios in the right triangle and the exact values
sin60° = 
and tan60° = 
, then
sin60° = 
= 
= ( cross- multiply )
x = 4 ( divide both sides by )
x = 4
and
tan60° = 
= 
= ( multiply both sides by y )
y = 2 ( divide both sides by )
y = 2
