Answer:

14b and 14d require renaming mixed numbers; 14a) 3 3/20; 14b) 2 1/8; 14c) 1 13/24; 14d) 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

14a) First we find the least common denominator (LCD).  The first thing that both 5 and 4 will divide into is 20; this is our LCD.

It takes 4 5's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 4, we have 5 8/20.  It takes 5 4's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 5, we have 2 5/20.  Subtracting these,

5 8/20 - 2 5/20 = 3 3/20

14b) We must write the whole number 5 as a mixed number with a denominator of 8; 5 = 4 8/8.  This gives us

4 8/8 - 2 7/8 = 2 1/8

14c) The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24.  It takes 8 3's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 8, we have 7 16/24.  It takes 3 8's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 3, we have 6 3/24.  Subtracting we have

7 16/24 - 6 3/24 = 1 13/24.

14d) The LCD of 6 and 3 is 6.  Since the first mixed number has a denominator of 6, we leave it:  9 1/6.  It takes 2 3's to make 6; multiplying the numerator by 2, we have 5 4/6.  Subtracting we would have

9 1/6 - 5 4/6

We are subtracting a larger fraction from a smaller one.  This means we borrow a whole from the whole number, making it 8; this makes the fraction (6+1)/6 = 7/6.  This gives us

8 7/6 - 5 4/6 = 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

OK, so turn 5 and  2/5ths into a fraction greater than one which would be 27/5ths. Then take the 27/5ths and find the least common denominator, which should be 20. Multiply 27/5ths by 4 and you should have 108/20 and turn the 2 and 1/4 into a 20, so then turn that into a number greater than one which you should get 9/4ths, do the same thing as you did before only this time multiple by 5. You should now get, 45/20ths, now subtract 108/20ths  and 45/20ths. Now, after that, you should have your answer which is 63/20 or 3 and 3/20ths.

Luda [366]

Answer:  x = 0

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

4(7 - 3x) = 7(4 - 2x)

28 - 12x = 28 - 14x        <em>distributed</em>

28 + 2x = 28                 <em>added 14x to both sides</em>

       2x = 0                    <em>subtracted 28 from both sides</em>

         x = 0                     <em>divided both sides by 2</em>

To finance her community college​ education, Sarah takes out a loan for ​$3700. After a year Sarah decides to pay off the​ inter
iragen [17]
So, to solve this, we use this equation:
3700 + 0.05(3700)
But, if we want to make it shorter:
1.05(3700)
Now you just multiply(you may want to use a calculator)
1.05(3700) = 3885
She will pay $3885

Need help! Law of cosines...find b round to the nearest tenth please
dusya [7]
ANSWER

B = 27.8 \degree

EXPLANATION

The law of cosine is given by the formula:

{b}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {c}^{2} - 2bc \cos(B)

From the diagram,

a=17, b=8, c=16

We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain:

{8}^{2} = {17}^{2} + {16}^{2} - 2(17)(16)\cos(B)

64 = 289+ 256- 544\cos(B)


64 = 545- 544\cos(B)


64 - 545 = - 544\cos(B)

- 481 = - 544\cos(B)

\frac{ - 481}{ - 544} = \cos(B)

cos(B) = 0.88419

B = \cos ^{ - 1} (0.88419)

B = 27.8 \degree
