Answer:
1) 5/4 or 1 1/4
2) 9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4+1/2: you multiply 1/2 by 2 to get a common denominator then get 2/4, 3+2=5, 5/4 or 1 1/4
1/3+11/48: you multiply 1/3 by 16 to get common denominator & get 16/48, 16+11= 27/48, divide by 3 & get simplest form of 9/16
Answer:
(2, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)
x + 2y = 8 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is
- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is
- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting in (2)
x + 2(3) = 8
x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = 2
Solution is (2, 3 )
The answer is D. This is because all of the variables must be on one side so it can be factored.
