3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A

No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.

B

Factor each number into it's primes.

24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3

32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2

The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8

C

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.

6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2

Solve the system of equations using substitution -3x + 2y = 12 x = 2y - 8
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

-3x + 2y = 12

x = 2y - 8

You can 'substitute' the expression '2y - 8' for the value of 'x' in the first equation and solve for 'y':

-3(2y - 8) + 2y = 12

Distribute: -6y + 24 + 2y = 12

Combine like terms: -4y + 24 = 12

Subtract 24 from both sides: -4y + 24 - 24 = 12 - 24 or -4y = -12

Divide both sides by -4: -4y/-4 = -12/-4  or y = 3

Use y = 3 to solve for 'x':

x = 2(3) - 8 or 6 - 8

x = -2

(-2, 3)

Find the product. Simplify if possible
KATRIN_1 [288]

−1/3⋅(8 1/7)

change 8 1/7 to an improper fraction

8 1/7 = (7*8 +1)/7 = 57/7

-1/3 * 57/7

-57/21

21 goes into 57 2 times with 15 left over

-2 15/21

divide top and bottom of the fraction by 3

-2 5/7
