Question

What is the value of 3x + y if x = - 2/9 and y = (4 1/6)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given,

`x = ( - 2)/(9)`

`y = 4(1)/(6)`

Now,

`3x + y`

`= 3( ( - 2)/(9) ) + 4 (1)/(6)`

`= ( - 2)/(3) + (25)/(6)`

`= ( - 4)/(6) + (25)/(6)`

`= ( - 4 + 25)/(6)`

`= (21)/(6)`

`= 3 (3)/(6)`

`= 3 (1)/(2)`
