To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you switch the numerator and denominator, for example the reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2. With our mixed number, we convert to an improper fraction, 17/3Then we find the reciprocal, which is 3/17. I hope this helps!
A + -5 = -12
A - 5 = -12
A = -7.
This is the solution.
X - y = -3
y = x + 3.......slope = 1, y intercept = (0,3)
to find x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
x - y = -3
x - 0 = -3
x = -3....so the x intercept = (-3,0)
plot ur points (0,3) and (-3,0)......now start at (-3,0)....and since ur slope is 1, go up one, and to the right 1, and up 1, and to the right 1.....do this over as many times as needed and u should cross the y axis at (0,3)
3x - 2y = 1
2x + 2y = 4
Add the second equation to the first
5x = 5
2x + 2y = 4
Divide the first equation by 5
x = 1
2x + 2y = 4
Subtract the first equation from the second
x = 1
x + 2y = 3
Subtract the first equation from the second again
x = 1
2y = 2
Divide the second equation by 2
x = 1
y = 1
<h3>
So, the solution is x = 1 and y = 1 {or: (1, 1)} </h3>
