Answer:
I have solved it in elimination method if you need it in another method let me know.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+y=21
-x-y=5
2x=26
x=13
-3×13-3y=15
y= -18
First, you must make common denominators...
5/6 pound = 25/30 pound
1/5 pound = 6/30 pound
Then, you must subtract
25/30 - 6/30 = 19/30
Finally, divide the remainder by 8, or multiply by the reciprocal
19/30 • 1/8 = 19/240
It would be a total of 8 Becouse of where the x is placed
The quotient would be less than the dividend because when you divide a fraction less than 1 by a number greater than one, you are dividing a fraction by another term. Any fraction less than 1 divided by a whole number, the equation converted into a multiplication sentence would become the fraction multiplied by the term as the denominator and the numerator as a one, which a fraction multiply a fraction would be a quotient less than the dividend.
