Answer:
At the bottom!
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the two equations into the same standard form:
2x-y=8
-5x+2y=3
Now if you add the two equations up, guess what will happen?
You will "eliminate" the y variable, and only be left with the x variable.
Technically, you will get:
2x-y+2+28-5x+29+2y=8+23
-3x+20y=11
-3x=11
15 8/100, or 15 4/50 in simplified version.
I hope this helps, please Brainliest me, and have a great day! :D
Answer:
The answer is 45
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is a straightforward one, we have:
2/3x = 30
because we have a fraction on at least one side, we will cross multiply thus:
2x = 30 x 3
2x = 90
Next, we divide both sides by 2 to make x the subject of the formula, we have 2x/2 = 90/2
x = 45

Answer:
shortest side = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is a bit ambiguous. Do you mean (3/4) x or do you mean 3/(4x)?
I'll take it to be the first one.
(x + 3) + 4(x - 13) + (3/4)x = 3x + 6 Remove the brackets on the left
x + 3 + 4x - 52 + 0.75 x = 3x + 6 Combine
5.75x - 49 = 3x + 6 Subtract 3x from both sides.
2.75x - 49 = 6 Add 49 to both sides
2.75x = 55 Divide by 2.75
x = 55/ 2.75
x = 20
Now for the shortest side
x + 3 = 23
4(x - 13) = 4(20 - 13) = 4*7 = 28
(3/4)*20 = 15
The shortest side = 15
The fractions you start with have to be re-written with the same (common) denominator.
For example, if you were asked to add 3/5 and 6/7, you would:
1) Identify the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD): Here it is 5*7 = 35.
2) Multiply both numerator and denom. of 3/5 by 7: 21/35
3) Mult. both num. and denom. of 6/7 by 5: 30/35
4) Combine these two equivalent fractions: 21/35 + 30/35 = 51/35 (answer)
Try a few such problems yourself and write back if you need further help.
