Answer:
The simplest answer is
The reason how I got that is because to divide fractions, you have to turn them improper. Once you've done that, you then can multiply it by using the reciprocal of the second fraction. Once they are rearranged, multiply all the numerators by each other. do the same with the denominators and form a new fraction.
Answer:
The equation x = y-8
The equation (y-8) y = 240
The first number x = 12 and second number y =20
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Explanation</u>:-
<u>Step(l)</u>:-
Let 'x' be the first number and 'y' be the second number
Given the product of two numbers is 240
Given data x y = 240 …(l)
Given data the first number is 8 less than the second number.
x = y-8...(ll)
Substitute (ll) in equation (l) , we get
(y-8) y = 240
y = -12 and y = 20
Y= -12 is not satisfied
we can choose y = 20
<u>Step(ll):</u>-
Given data x =y-8
substitute value y = 20 in x = y -8
x = 20-8 = 12
<u>Final answer</u>:-
The first number x = 12 and second number y =20
