R example: 6 1/2 = 13/2 = 6.5
For the first example, six and a half is equal to thirteen halves, which
is then equal to six point five. To do this, the rule to turn a mix
number into a fraction is by multiplying the 2 with the 6 and then add
the answer to 1, which gives 13/2 (Remember to always give the same
denominator). Finally, thirteenth halves is equal to six point five
(because when you divide 13 by 2, you get 6 and one left over. To
continue dividing, add a 0 , and so 10 goes into 2 is five. so the
decimal is 6.5
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
The answer is d its decreasing
Answer:
y < x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First, move the x over to the other side by subtracting x from both sides. This will get you -y > -x + 4.
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the -1 in front of y. Since this is an inequality, dividing or multiplying by a negative number means that you have to flip the sign. We are dividing by a negative number, so flip > to <. The signs on both sides change to get y < x - 4.
