The sum of the numbers should total to 1. Let us say that
x is the missing number, therefore:
x + ¼ + ¼ + 1/5 = 1
x = 1 – ¼ - ¼ - 1/5
The numbers should have similar denominator:
x = 20/20 – 5/20 – 5/20 – 4/20
x = 6/20
<span>x = 3/10</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.
it does not matter which variable you choose.
lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.
so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.
2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6
(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)
4x+6y=12
now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6
-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)
-15x-6y=-12
now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out
4x+6y=12
-15x-6y=-12
-11x=0
x=0
now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.
2(0)+3y=6
3y=6
y=2
so your answer is x=0, y=2
She bought 4 Movies and 3 CDs so she spend $19.50 bc 3+3+3+3=12 so 2.50+2.50+2.50=7.50 so 7.50+12=19.50
