The corners of a door
The edge of a table
corners of a book
basically any corner of a rectangular or square object
x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children
?????????????????????/ us a calculator to add up all the nub.
This just means that thefraction<span> has been reduced. For instance 4 / 6 is </span>not<span> such a </span>fraction<span>, because the top and the bottom have </span>gcf<span> = </span>2<span>, but </span>2<span> / 3 is such a </span><span>fraction</span>
