We can compare 2 fractions by means of the cross multiplication method. In our case, we have
since 50 is greater than 24 then 10/12 is greater than 2/5:
The distance between 1 - 10 1/4

Answer
-9 1/4
9 1/4 (in absolute value)
Answer:
$24.11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the present be c.
Then (3/4)c = $18.33.
To isolate (solve for) c, mult. both sides of this equation by (4/3):
(4/3)(3/4)c = (4/3)($18.33), or
c = $24.11
Use this rule: <em>(x^a)^b = x^ab</em>
3(x + 2)^3/5 + 2 = 27
Subtract 3 from both sides
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 27 - 3
Simplify 27 - 3 to 24
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 24
Divide both sides by 3
(x + 2)^3/5 = 24/3
Simplify 24/3 to 8
(x + 2)^3/5 = 8
Take the cube root of both sides
x + 2 = 3/5√8
Invert and multiply
x + 2 = 8^5/3
Calculate
x + 2 = 2^5
Simplify 2^5 to 32
x + 2 = 32
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 32 - 2
Simplify 32 - 3 to 30
<u>x = 30</u>
X+y = 4, therefore y = 4-x when you rearrange the equation.
You can subsitute this in: x-(4-x) = 6
-4+x = 6-x
x=10-x
2x = 10
x = 5
Substitute x into the previous equation:
5+y = 4
y = 4-5
y = -1
