X = y - 8
Step by step
Y = x + 8
x + 8 = y
-8 -8
x = y - 8
Your answer is 4
You have to use the distribute property and distribute the - to the -7 and the 3
The -7 will become and the 3 will become -3
Then you add those together and when you add a negative to a positive you basically subtract
So 7+-3 is 4
A is your answer
Answer:
4 inches deep, 5 inches high and 15 inches across
<span> here
7 7/8
= [ (8*7) + 7 ] / 8
= (56 + 7) / 8
=63 / 8
similarly,
3 1/4
=[ (4*3) + 1] / 4
= (12 + 1) / 4
= 13/4
----------------------------
now put the values
7 7/8 - 3 1/4
= 63/8 - 13/4
here, take LCM of 8 & 4 which is 8.
now,
[ (1*63) - (2 * 13) ] / 8
= (63 - 26) / 8
= 37/8
= 4 5/8........................[ here, divide 37 by 8 which gives reminder as 5 and divisible value as 4 ]</span>
