Answer:
7/24
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 + 1/6
First get a common denominator of 24
1/8 * 3/3 = 3/24
1/6 * 4/4 = 4/24
3/24 + 4/24 = 7/24
Let's call the three numbers x, y, and z.
The numbers are 3, 12, and 5.
x + y + z = 20
y = 4x
x + z = 8
We can rewrite the first equation because y is 4x, so
x + 4x + z = 20
5x + z = 20
And now we can use simultaneous equation rules to solve
5x + z = 20
x + z = 8
5x + z = 20
5x + 5z = 40
(subtract)
-4z + -20
÷ -4
z = 5
x + z = 8
x + 5 = 8
x = 3
y = 4x
y = 4 × 3
y = 12
I hope this helps!

Answer:
Y=4 X= -6 or (-6,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so
3x+10y=22
-3x-8y=-14
- basically, it's like one big equation. First, subtract 3x from -3x which cancels out and gives us 0
- 10y minus 8y gives us 2y.
- 22 minus 14 gives us 8
3x+10y=22
<u>-3x-8y=-14</u>
0+2y=8
Now that we have this, we can solve for y. in order to do this, we have to divide both sides by 2.
From here we know that y=4 because the 2s cancel out leaving y and 8 divided by 2 is 4.
y= 4
Now we can fill in. You can pick any equation for this but I'm going to chose the first one.
3x+10y=22
we can fill in 4 for y
3x+10(4)=22
3x+40=22
Next we are going to subtract 40 on both sides.
3x+40=22
-40 -40
3x= -18
Next, we're going to divide -18 by 3.
The 3s cancel out leaving us x. -18 divided by 3 is -6.
x= -6
Hope this helped!! :)

Answer:
C. 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the perimeter of the rectangle is ...
P = 2(L+W)
34 = 2(n +m)
Solving for m, we get
m = 17 -n . . . . . . . divide by 2, subtract n
__
The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the sides and the hypotenuse
m^2 +n^2 = (n+1)^2
(17 -n)^2 +n^2 = (n +1)^2 . . . . . . substitute for m
289 -34n +n^2 +n^2 = n^2 +2n +1 . . . . eliminate parentheses
n^2 -36n +288 = 0 . . . . . . . put in standard form
(n -12)(n -24) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
n = 12 . . . . . . . . . . n=24 is an extraneous solution here
The value of n is 12 cm.
