find X + Y divided by x minus 5 if x is equal to 1 by 4 Y is equal to 3 by 2
Answers
Answer:
⅓
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation= x+y ÷ x-5
put x = ¼,y = 3/2
¼+3/2 ÷ ¼-5
1+6/4 ÷ 1+20/4
7/4 ÷ 21/4
(Now it will be reciprocal after divide sign)
7/4 × 4/21
1/1 × 1/3
Answer= ⅓
Correct Question
Find (x + y)/(x - 5) if x = 1/4 and y = 3/2
Answer
The answer is -7/19
Given
- (x + y)/(x - 5)
- x = 1/4
- y = 3/2
To Find
The solution to the expression
Solution
Here, x = 1/4
y = 3/2
Numerator = x + y
= 1/4 + 3/2
Here we will take the LCM of the denominator, i..e 4 and 2
The Lowest Common Multiple of 4 and 2 will be 2
Hence,
1/4 + 3/2
= (1 + 3X2)/4
= (1 + 6)/4
= 7/4
Denominator = x - 5
= 1/4 - 5
Here we will change 5 in its fractional form such that the denominator is 4
Therefore,
1/4 - 5 = 1/4 - 20/4
= (1 - 20)/4
= -19/4
Therefore answer
= 7/-19
= -7/19
Therefore, the answer is -7/19
