True or false? when the denominators are the same, compare the numerators to compare the fractions. (hint: type true or false.)

The given statement is true, while comparing the fractions we observe the denominators. If the denominators are same, we compare the numerators to compare the given fraction.

When comparing two fractions with like denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the greater numerator.

For eg: If we have to compare between the fractions

Since, we can see both the fractions has the same denominators and different numerators. Since, 6 is greater than 2.

therefore, the fraction is greater than .

Hence, the given statement is true.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

6e14 is the answer.
