-2 5/12 - 3 2/3 + 1 1/2 =
- 29/12 - 11/3 + 3/2 =
-29/12 - 44/12 + 18/12 =
-73/12 + 18/12 =
- 55/12 or - 4 7/12 <===
Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c
Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then
−15 = 4a + 2b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then
−5 = 9a − 3b + c
Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5
Solving it we get that
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1
Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1
____________________
Rewriting in the form of
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y
ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)
iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)
iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)
v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36
vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36)
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)
vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p)
So, after rewriting the equation would be -
(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

The difference between the mixed numbers is equal to 5/6.
<h3>How to perform the subtraction between the two mixed numbers?</h3>
A mixed number is a number that is written as a whole number plus an improper fraction, here we want to compute:
(2 + 1/2) - (1 + 2/3)
We can group the whole numbers and the fractions, so we get:
(2 - 1) + (1/2 - 2/3)
Now we can simplify this so we get:
(2 - 1) + (1/2 - 2/3)
= 1 + (3/6 - 4/6) = 1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6
We conclude that the difference between the mixed numbers is equal to 5/6.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>5n-4
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>The given expression is:</u>

<u>1- Take the negative as a common factor from both the numerator and the denominator. This will give us:</u>

<u>2- Cancel out the negative sign (common factor) from the numerator and denominator. This will give us:</u>

<u>3- Factor the numerator. This wil give:</u>

<u>4- Finally, cancel out the (17n+19) which common in both numerator and denominator. This will give us the final expression:</u>
5n-4
