Answer:
2 5/12 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Map pours 3 2/3 cup of orange juice into measuring cup from a large container then he poured 1 1/4 cups back into the container
The amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup is calculated as:
3 2/3 - 1 1/4
= 3 - 1 + ( 2/3 - 1/4)
LCD = Lowest Common Denominator is 12
= 2 + (4 × 2 - 3 × 1/12)
= 2 + (8 - 3/12)
= 2 + 5/12
= 2 5/12 cups
Hence, the amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup = 2 5/12 cups of juice
-8 because -8 +5=-3 that is the equation used to get the solution
First you would add any numbers or variables (x) on each sides. So the equation would look like this -5h+12=32. Then you subtract 12 from both side because you are trying to find what H is; thus making the equation look like this, -5h=20. Then you can divide by -5 and the answer would be h=-4. You can plug it back into the equation to make sure it is correct. 10-5(-4)+2=32
10+20+2=32
32=32
It works.
