Hello! So a mixed number is being subtracted by an improper fraction. To find the difference between the two numbers, we will subtract. It would be set up as 4 5/8 - 3 7/8. First off, because 5/8 is less than 7/8, we add 8/8 to 5/8 and turn 4 into 3. That makes the problem 3 13/8 - 3 7/8. Now, let's subtract. 3 13/8 - 3 7/8 is 6/8 or 3/4 in simplest form. There. Tara read 3/4 more pages of the arts section than the sports section.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cat's age when it died = x.

Therefore, the child's age is 2 + x because he/she got the cat when he/she was 2 years old.

We can set up an equation.

x + (2+x) = 30

2x + 2 = 30

2x = 28

Therefore, x = 14

 A movie theater sends out a coupon for 85​% off the price of a ticket. Write an equation for the​ situation, where y is the pri
ra1l [238]

Answer:

y=0.15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original price of the ticket is x

Price after using the coupon is y

Coupon discount is 85% of x=0.85x

Therefore, the price after applying coupon is given as the difference of the original price and the coupon discount. That is,

y=x-0.85x=x(1-0.85)=0.15x\\\therefore y=0.15x

The graph is shown below. The graph passes through the origin as the above relationship is a proportional relationship.

The line y=0.15x strictly remains in the first quadrant as both x and y can't be negative as they represent price of tickets and price can never have negative values. Hence, only the first quadrant has both the values of x and y positive.
