\frac{5}{12} - \frac{3}{20}

First, find the LCD of the two fractions.
Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60.
Multiples of 20: 20, 40, 60
The LCD is 60.
Second, change the denominators to be the same as the LCD.
\frac{5x5}{12x5} - \frac{3x3}{20x3}
Third, 5 × 5 = 25 / 12 × 5 = 60 / 3 × 3 = 9 / 20 × 3 = 60
\frac{25}{60} - \frac{9}{60}
Fourth, combine the denominators.
\frac{25-9}{60}
Fifth, subtract 25 - 9 to get 16.
\frac{16}{60}
Sixth, find the GCF of 16 and 60.
The GCF is 4.
Seventh, divide the numerator by the GCF.
16 ÷ 4 = 4
Eighth, divide the denominator by the GCF.
60 ÷ 4 = 15
Ninth, rewrite the fraction in simplest form.
\frac{4}{15}

Answer as fraction: \frac{4}{15}
Answer as decimal: 0.2667

PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THANK YOU!!
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

We know that when x= -10, y= -17.

So, if we put those into direct variation "y=kx", we get

-17= k(-10)

k   = -17 / -10

Now we put the value of "k" into the formula and we get A (y= 17/10x )

You purchase a car in 2010 for $25,000. The value of the car decreases by 14% annually. What would the value of the car be in 20
Fed [463]

Answer: -$6,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we could , use the arithmetic progression where

T(2020 - 2010) = a + ( n - 1 )d

T10 = a + ( 10 - 1 )d --------------- 1

a = $25,000, n = 10 and d = 14% of $25,000 = $3,500 the common difference.

Note since it decreases the common difference d = -$3,500.

Now substitute for the values in the equation above.

T10 = 25,000 + 9 x -3,500

= $25,000 - $31,500

= -$6,500 (deficit )
