Subtract the fractions and simplify the answer 7 8/9-5 3/5

One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result:  2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.

The LCD is (5)(9)=45.  Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.

Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is  2 13/45.

You could also do this problem by converting  7 8/9    and   5 3/5 into improper fractions:

71/9 - 28/5.  Again, the LCD is 45.  Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?

Squareroot(y-1) + 3 = y
jek_recluse [69]
Note:xy means x times y and x(y) means the same thing

so
first we get rid of square root then
make the equation equal to zero becaues if
xy=0 then x or/and y=0



squareroot(y-1)+3=y

isolate the squareroot
subtrac 3 from boht sides

squareroot(y-1)=y-3

square both sides (since they are equal, you should be able to square both sides and still make it true)

(squareroot(y-1))^2=(y-3)^2
(y-1)=(y-3)(y-3)
y-1=y^2-6y+9
subtrac y from both sides
-1=y^2-7y+9
add 1 to both sides
0=y^2-7y+10
find what two number multiply to make 10 and add to get -7
the answer is -2 and -5

0=(y-5)(y-2)
therfore
y-5=0
and/or
y-2=0

therefor
y=5 or/and 2 might work
let's try out 2
square root(2-1)+3=2
square root(1)+3=2
1+3=2
false
so 2 doesn't work



let's try 5
squareroot(5-1)+3=5
squareroot(4)+3=5
2+3=5
5=5
true

y=5
