Greetings!
"<span>The difference of six times a number and 7 is -49"...
In number and variables, this would be:
</span>
<span>
Add
7 to both sides.
</span>
<span>Simplify.
</span>
Divide both sides by
6.
Simplify.
Hope this helps.

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.
We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:
Option A.
and
We have that:
So, we have that the pairs of numbers
and
Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.
Option D.
and
We have that:
So, we have that the pair of numbers
and
Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.
Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.
The other options are:
and
We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.
Hence, the answers are:
A.
and
D.
and
Have a nice day!

Answer:
The smallest number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using simultaneous equation;
x+y = 18.....(1)
4x-y = 17.....(2)
from equation (1)..
x+y = 18
y = 18-x...(3)
substitute y into equation (2)
4x-y = 17
4x-(18-x) = 17
4x-18+x = 17
4x+x = 17+18
5x = 35
x = 35÷5
x = 7
substitute x into equation (3)
y = 18-x
y = 18-7
y = 11
Therefore; x=7
y=11
11+7=18
(4×7)-11=17
the smallest number is 7
