What does "The product of n and 6 is subtracted from five-sixths of b" mean

1 answer:

5 0

The product means it’s the answer to multiplication. So now we know n and 6 are being multiplied. Then it is subtracted from 5/6b. This could be written as 6n - 5/6b.

This was my understanding. Sorry if i was wrong!

4a/3-b/4=6<br> 5a/6+b=13<br> Solve linear system by elimination

kondor19780726 [428]

$\bf \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4}=6
\qquad \qquad 
\cfrac{5a}{6}+b=13
\\\\\\
\textit{let us remove the denominators off those folks}\\
\textit{by multiplying the first one by 12, both sides}\\
\textit{and the second one by 6, both sides, thus}
\\\\\\
12\left( \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4} \right)=12(6)\implies 16a-4b=72
\\\\\\
6\left( \cfrac{5a}{6}+b \right)=6(13)\implies 5a+6b=78$

$\bf \textit{now, let's do the elimination}
\\\\

\begin{array}{llll}
16a-4b=72&\boxed{\times 3}\implies &48a-\underline{12b}=216\\\\
5a+6b=78&\boxed{\times 2}\implies &10a+\underline{12b}=156\\
&&--------\\
&&58a+0\quad=372
\end{array}$

solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"

What is a correct congruence statement for the triangles shown?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

ΔRHS ≅ ΔNKW

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, in the triangles RHS and NKW.

∠H = ∠K

Side HS = KW.

∠S = ∠W

Now, using the ASA congruence criteria, which states that when two corresponding angles of the triangles are equal with the included side between them is equal, then both the triangles are congruent.

Hence, according to ASA criteria, ΔRHS ≅ ΔNKW.
