In this problem, we have an improper fraction and a whole number. In order to find the difference between the whole number and the improper fraction, we will make the whole number an improper fraction.

To do this, we will need to make sure that the denominators of each term mach. The denominator of our improper fraction is 4, so we will use that as our denominator for the improper fraction to represent 5.

To turn 5 into an improper fraction, we will first multiple 5 by our chosen denominator, which is 4.

5*4=20

Now, we write an improper fraction with 20 as the numerator and 4 as the denominator.

20/4

Now, we can find the difference between 20/4 and 17/4.

Since the denominators of the two terms are the same, all we need to do is subtract the numerators from each other. 

20-17=3

Now, we will create a fraction with 3 as the numerator and 4 as the denominator.

3/4

Now we can check our solution:

17/4 +3/4 = 20/4

Remember that 20/4 is equal to five.

17/4 +3/4 = 5

The solution is 3/4.

How to isolate a variable
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The basic technique to isolate a variable is to “do something to both sides” of the equation, such as add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number. By repeating this process, we can get the variable isolated on one side of the equation.

Is 48 a perfect cube? Explain your reasoning.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

No

Reasoning:

If something is a perfect cube, it is able to be put under a cube root (\sqrt[3]{..}) and will result in an integer (a non-decimal number > 0, basically).

So let's calculate \sqrt[3]{48}, and see if the result is an integer.

\sqrt[3]{48} = 3.634.......

As you can see, the result is not an integer, therefore 48 is not a perfect cube.

line AB passes through points A(-6,6) and B(12,3) if the equation of the line is written in slope intercept form
Paul [167]
Y=(-1/6)x+5
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(3-6)/(12-(-6))
m=(-3)/(18)
m=-1/6
y=mx+b
y=(-1/6)x+b
6=(-1/6)(-6)+b
6=1+b
b=5
y=(-1/6)x+5
