Recall to always convert the mixed fractions to "improper" fractions first,
Answer:
-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
You just need to see what number is being divided from each term
Answer:
infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Work with the second equation. Subtract 8x from both sides.
- 4y + 8x - 8x = -8x - 12 Collect like terms.
-4y = - 8x - 12 Divide by - 4
-4y/-4 = - 8x/-4 - 12/-4
y = 2x + 3
That is exactly the same line as the first given. There is an infinite number of solutions.
