Step-by-step explanation:

to compare them, we should all bring to the same denominator.

the lcm (lowest common multiplier) is the that denominator.

let's use the approach of the prime factors :

3 : 3

5 : 5

32 : 2×2×2×2×2

24 : 2×2×2×3

the lcm is the combination of the longest "streaks" of the prime factors.

so,

2×2×2×2×2 × 3 × 5 = 32×15 = 480

2/-3 = -2/3 = -320/480 (as 3×160 = 480)

-4/5 = -4×96 / 5×96 = -384/480 (as 5×96 = 480)

21/-32 = -21/32 = -315/480 (as 32×15 = 480)

-15/24 = -15×20 / 24×20 = -300/480 (24×20 = 480)

as

-384/480 < -320/480 < -315/480 < -300/480

we can say

-4/5 < -2/3 < -21/32 < -15/24

uysha [10]

Answer: I think it's C.Multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the top equation by 3 you get:

3(4x – 2y) = 3∗7

12x - 6y = 21          (eq.1)

Multiplying the bottom equation by 4 you get:

4(3x – 3y) = 4∗15

12x - 12y = 60       (eq.2)

Now, if you subtact eq.2 from eq.1 you get:

(12x - 6y = 21 )

-

(12x - 12y = 60)

___________________

0x + [- 6y -(-12y)] = 21 - 60

Carrying out the calculation you get:

6y = -39

y = -39/6

y = -13/2
