klemol [59]

The answer is 3. If you set it up in a T table and label x as the number of hours and y as the number of rows. Then use rise over run (y over x) the fractions simplify to 3 over 1.

A fraction becomes 4÷5 if 1 is added to both numerator and denominator. If, however, 5 is subtracted from both numerator and den

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+1}{y+1}=\dfrac{4}{5}\\\Rightarrow 5x-4y=-1$

$\dfrac{x-5}{y-5}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow 2x-y=5$

Putting it in matrix form

$\begin{bmatrix}a_{1}&b_{1}\\a_{2}&b_{2}\end{bmatrix}{\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{c_{1}}\\{c_{2}}\end{bmatrix}\\\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}5 & -4\\2 & -1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1\\ 5\end{bmatrix}$

From Cramer's rule we have

$x=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}c_1 &b_1 \\ c_2 & b_2\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}a_1 &b_1 \\ a_2& b_2\end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}-1 &-4 \\ 5 & -1\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}5 &-4 \\ 2& -1\end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1+20}{-5+8}\\\Rightarrow x=7$

$y=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}a_1 &c_1 \\ a_2 & c_1\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}a_1 &b_1 \\ a_2& b_2\end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix}5 &-1 \\ 2 & 5\end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix}5 &-4 \\ 2& -1 \end{vmatrix}}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{25+2}{-5+8}\\\Rightarrow y=9$

Verifying the results

$\dfrac{7+1}{9+1}=\dfrac{8}{10}=\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\dfrac{7-5}{9-5}=\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, the fraction is $\dfrac{7}{9}$ .

What is the solution (x,y) to the system of equations given? 2 x + 4 y = − 16 2x+4y=−16 2 y − x = = 16 2y−x==16

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(-12,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -16

2y - x = 16

Multiply the bottom part by 2.

2x + 4y = -16

4y - 2x = 32

Add the equations and the answers to the equations up, and they will equal each other.

(2x + 4y) + (4y - 2x) = -16 + 32

8y = 16

y = 2

Plug y = 2 to the 2nd equation.

2*2 - x = 16

4 - x = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-x = 12

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -12
