4a + 6b = 10
2a - 4b = 12
4a + 6b = 10
4a - 8b = 24
4a + 6b = 10
-14b = 14
4a + 6b = 10
b = -1
4a - 6 = 10
a = 4
b = -1

Answers & Step-by-step explanation:

#1. Insert given values:


16*(1)/(4) -4*6

Simplify multiplication from left to right. Use the rule
(a)/(b)*c =(ac)/(b):


(16)/(4)-4*6\\\\ 4-4*6

Simplify multiplication:


4-24

Simplify subtraction:


-20\\\\16a-4b=-20

#2. Insert given values:


(5*6)/(32*(1)/(4) )

Simplify multiplication:


(30)/(32*(1)/(4) )

Simplify multiplication. Use the rule
(a)/(b) *c=(ac)/(b):


(30)/((32)/(4) )

Simplify division:


(30)/(8)

Simplify fraction:


(15)/(4) \\\\(5b)/(32a)=(15)/(4)

#3. Insert given values:


12*(1)/(4) +(6-(1)/(4) -4)

Simplify subtraction within parentheses. Convert to fractions. Use the rule
a=(a)/(1):


(6)/(1) -(1)/(4) -(4)/(1)

Make all denominators the same. Multiply top and bottom by 4 (only do this to the fractions with 1 as the denominator):


(24)/(4)-(1)/(4)-(16)/(4)

Simplify subtraction. Subtract the numerators. The denominator will stay the same:


(24)/(4)-(1)/(4)-(16)/(4)=(7)/(4)

Insert:


12*(1)/(4) +(7)/(4)

Simplify multiplication. Use the rule
(a)/(b) *c=(ac)/(b):


(12)/(4) =3

Insert:


3+(7)/(4)

Simplify addition. Convert the whole number to a fraction. Use the rule
a=(a)/(1):


(3)/(1) +(7)/(4)

Multiply top and bottom of the first term by 4:


(12)/(4)+(7)/(4)=(19)/(4) \\\\12a+(b-a-4)=(19)/(4)

:Done
