Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number 2 1/
2
to a improper fraction: 2 1/2 = 2 1/
2
= 2 · 2 + 1/
2
= 4 + 1/
2
= 5/
2
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 2. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 2/
2
= 4/
2
b) Add the answer from previous step 4 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 4 + 1 = 5
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 2.
Two and one half is five halfs
Assuming that both triangles are an exact copy of one another, it is safe to assume that 3y-7 is equal to 41. Set up an equation
3y-7=41
Add 7 to both sides
3y=48
Divide both sides by 3
y=16
Now to find PN.
Based on what we know, we can assume that MP = PN. Let's make some equations!
MP = 17x-8 PN = 11x+4
17x-8 = 11x+4
Subtract 11x from both sides
6x-8 = 4
Add 8 to both sides
6x = 12
Divide by 2
x=2
Substitute 2 in for x in the equation for PN
11(2)+4
Multiply 11 by 2
22+4 = 26
PN = 26
B has two pre-images of -7 so it is not a function
1. To solve this exercise, you must make a system of equations.
2. You have that f<span>our times a number minus twice another number is -8:
</span>
4x-2y=-8
3. And t<span>he sum of the two number is 19:
</span>
x+y=19
4. As you can see, you have two equations:
4x-2y=-8 (i)
x+y=19 (ii)
5. Let's clear the "x" from the equation (ii):
x=19-y
6. Now, you need to susbtitute x=19-y into the equation (i):
4x-2y=-8
4(19-y)-2y=-8
76-4y-2y=-8
76-6y=-8
-6y=-8-76
-6y=-84
y=-84/-6
y=14
7. You must susbstitute y=14 into the equation (ii) and clear "x":
x+y=19
x+14=19
x=19-14
x=5
The answer is: 5 and 14
