Multiple both ratios by a least common denominator
the least common denominator for both is 15
multiply the first ratio by 3/3
9/15=9/15
both are equal because when multiplying by the least common denominator you get the same answer
3. B
4. A
5. D
I believe these are the answers but if i'm wrong then crud that's "BAD". =D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying Equation A by (1/3) and adding the result to Equation B will do the trick. Let's actually solve the problem!
Equation A: (5/3)x + 3y = 12
Equation B: 4x - 3y = 8
---------------------------
(5/3 + 12/3)x = 15 Note how this has eliminated the variable
(17/3)x = 15 y.
x = (3/17)(15)
