Ruby says that 4/5 divided by 2/15 = 14/15. What error did Ruby make? A. Ruby added instead of divided. B. Ruby divided 2/15 by 4/5 instead of 4/5 by 2/15. C. Ruby divided by 2 instead of dividing by 2/15. D. Ruby multiplied by 2/15 instead of 15/2 multiplying by .

A. Ruby added instead of divided

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find a common denominator (15), and then multiply by the reciprocal and simplify your final answer

12/15 times 15/2 equals 180/30 which, when simplified equals 6

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
