The equation is $2\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2}$ .

1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)

The new equation is $\frac{17}{8} -\frac{4}{8}$ . Subtract the numerators.

17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8

The improper fraction $\frac{13}{8}$ simplifies to $1\frac{5}{8}$ .

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$1\frac{5}{8}$

Hope this helps :)

the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 39 centimeters. What is the length of an altitude of the triangle ?

victus00 [196]

Answer: $h = 11.26cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangle has equal sides, let the side be $xcm$ , then the perimeter is $3x$

Therefore:

$3x = 39$

$x = 39/3$

$x = 13cm$

To find the altitude , we will apply Pythagoras theorem , that is

$13^{2}=h^{2}+6.5^{2}$

Therefore:

$h^{2}=13^{2}-6.5^{2}$

$h^{2}=169-42.25$

$h^{2}=126.75$

take the square root of both sides

$h = 11.26cm$

If s ( x ) = 2 - x² and t ( x ) = 3x, what is s ( t ( -7 ) )?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

- 439

Step-by-step explanation:

s ( x ) = 2 - x²
t ( x ) = 3x
s ( t ( -7 ) ) = ?

--------------------------

t (-7) = 3 * ( -7 ) = -21
s ( t ( -7 ) ) = s ( -21 ) = 2 - ( -21 )² = 2 - 441 = - 439
s ( t ( -7 ) ) = -439
