Addition Answer: 1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
Subtraction Answer: 1/3 - 1/4 = 4/12 - 3/12 = 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, find the greatest common multiple of 3 and 4. Once you do this, then you can multiply across and solve any fraction problem!
Note that 2x-y=8 can be solved for y: y=2x-8. This is identical to the first equation. The graph of one is exactly the same as the graph of the other. Thus, the two equations are dependent.
If you want to multiply (2*x + 5) and (2*x - 5), you can do this using the following steps:
(2*x + 5) * (2*x - 5) = 4*x^2 - 10*x + 10*x - 25 = 4*x^2 - 25
The correct result is 4*x^2 - 25.
