Answer:
-19/132
Step-by-step explanation:
To add fractions, find the lowest common multiple of the two denominators and multiply accordingly to make both denominators the same. In this case, the lowest common multiple of 11 and 12 is 132, so we need to multiply the first number by 12 and the second by 11. So we get =
=
--First we have to simplfy
--Cancel common factors
--Here remember never cancel factors in a subtraction or addition problem
--Now Multiply each side until both denominators are equal to each other
--Simplify
--Now that the denominators are the same: subtract!
--And LAST STEP! ......Simplify More.... To get your answer
Answer:
A) (x, y) = (2-3n, 4n-1) . . . . for any integer n
B) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
A) All coefficients have a common factor of 3, so any solution of the reduced equation will be a solution of the given equation. The reduced equation is ...
4x +3y = 5
A graph of the original shows (x, y) = (2, -1) is a solution. Then other solutions will be those values with a multiple of 4 added to y and the same multiple of 3 subtracted from x:
(x, y) = (2 -3n, 4n -1)
__
B) The left side of the equation is an even number for any integer values of x and y. The right side is an odd number. There can be no solution.
