You would set the problem up as 4 1/8 - 2 3/8 = x
Change both fractions into improper fractions and substitute
33/8 - 19/8 = 14/8
Simplify
14/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4
Height = 2x + 6..........................
Answer:
The given expanded sum of the series is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given problem can be written as

To find their sums:
Now expanding the series
That is put n=5,6,7,8,9 in the given summation
![\sum\limits_{n=5}^{9}3n+2=[3(5)+2]+[3(6)+2]+[3(7)+2]+[3(8)+2]+[3(9)+2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csum%5Climits_%7Bn%3D5%7D%5E%7B9%7D3n%2B2%3D%5B3%285%29%2B2%5D%2B%5B3%286%29%2B2%5D%2B%5B3%287%29%2B2%5D%2B%5B3%288%29%2B2%5D%2B%5B3%289%29%2B2%5D)
![=[15+2]+[18+2]+[21+2]+[24+2]+[27+2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5B15%2B2%5D%2B%5B18%2B2%5D%2B%5B21%2B2%5D%2B%5B24%2B2%5D%2B%5B27%2B2%5D)
(adding the terms)

Therefore 
Therefore the given sum of the series is 
The given expanded sum of the series is
