let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

The simplest form is 11/24.
Answer:
81 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a diagram to represent what you know.
You don't know the values of the lengths so represent them algebraically.
You know the perimeter is 45 inches and that the perimeter is calculated by the sum of all of the sides of a shape.
You can rearrange to find the value of a side you've denoted as some unknown variable.
The area is given by the product of the sides. Express this algebraically and then input the value you found.
Well there are 6 toppings. For one person to select sausage, it is

Answer:
X+2Y=7 and 4X+8Y=19
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write the equations in the form y=mx+c, where m represents the gradient.
In this case, gradient is equal to -0.5
Step 2: Now fix arbitrary values on the equation, y=mx+c while maintaining the value of m as - 0.5
You can make endless equations
