Do cross multiplication
<u>6</u> = <u>x</u>
18 12
Now cross multiply
(6)(12) = (18)(x)
72 = 18x
Divide both sides by 18
<u>72</u> = <u>18x</u>
18 18
4 = x
So tMei can complete 4 problems in 12 minutes.
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 4. That will give you -4x in the second equation which when added to 4x of the first equation will eliminate x.
Second equation:
-x + 3y = 6
Multiply the second equation by 4 on both sides:
-4x + 12y = 26
The answer is going to be yes it's rational. hope that helped
