10 1/2-4 1/4= 6 1/4. 6 1/4-3 2/3= 2 7/12. They used 2 7/12 ft or 2ft 7in of wood to fix the stairs.
Answer:
The remainder is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
12 Divided by 7 equals 12 over 7 or 1.714285. 7 can only go into 12, one time. if we subtract 7 from 12 we get 5 which is the remainder. There is no way it can be 2 because 7 plus 2 equals 9. 1 x 7 + 5 equals 12 which isn't 1.714285. 2 x 7 + 4 equals 18 which also isn't 1.714285. Same with 2 x 5 + 5. That equals 15 which isn't 1.714285.
5x + 2y = 7....multiply by -3
-2x + 6y = 9
----------------
-15x - 6y = -21 (result of multiplying by -3)
-2x + 6y = 9
---------------add
-17x = - 12
x = 12/17 or 0.7
5x + 2y = 7
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
60/17 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 119/17 - 60/17
2y = 59/17
y = 59/17 * 1/2
y = 59/34 or 1.7 when rounded <====
