Answer to Problem 46PFA

  12x+12y=11

  12x12y=5

Explanation of Solution

Given:

There are two fractions that is greater than the other.

The sum of the two fractions is 1112 .

The difference of the fractions is 512 .

Calculation:

Given that the sum of the two fractions is 1112 ,

  x+y=1112

In a simplified form,

  12x+12y=11

Also, the difference of the fractions is 512 .

  xy=512

In a simplified form,

  12x12y=5

Conclusion:

The system of equations are 12x+12y=11 and 12x12y=5

Answer to Problem 46PFA

Greater Fraction: 23

Lesser Fraction: 14

Explanation of Solution

Given:

From subpart (b),

  12x+12y=11

  12x12y=5

Calculation:

Let,

  12x+12y=11                   (1)

  12x12y=5                    (2)

Add equations (1) and (2).

  (12x+12y)+(12x12y)=11+512x+12x+12y12y=1624x=16x=1624x=23

Substitute the value of x in equation (1).

  12(23)+12y=11243+12y=118+12y=1112y=118y=312y=14

Conclusion:

Therefore, the greater fraction is x=23 and lesser fraction is y=14 .

d.

To determine

To explain how to use elimination to solve the system of equations

d.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Assume two variables, one is greater function and another one is lesser fraction.

Simplify and modify the equations such that at least one of the variables get eliminated.

If one of the variables is eliminated, the other variable can be found.

Substituting the value of one variable in any one of the equations, the other variable also can be found.

Compare both the variables and find the greater of them.

The greater is the greater fraction and the other is the lesser one.
