Solution:

Note that:

  • Given fraction:
    (1)/(2x(3) + 3.4y)
  • x = 2
  • y = 5

Substitute the values into the fraction to find the solution.


  • (1)/(2x(3) + 3.4y)
  • =>
    (1)/(4(3) + 17)
  • =>
    (1)/(12 + 17)
  • =>
    (1)/(29)

The solution when x is two and y is five is 1/29.

Answer:

1/29 (≈ 0.0345 if you want it in decimals)

Explanation:


(1)/(2x3+3.4y) then plug in the numbers given


(1)/(2(2)3+3.4(5))then simplify

2(2)3=4*3=12

3.4(5)=17

1 over 12+17

1 over 29

so the answer is
(1)/(29) which is 0.0344827586207 in decimals depending on whar format you want

Hope this helps!
