there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 6 inches is really just half a foot, thus 3'6" is really just 3.5' or 3½ feet.
now, let's convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind our LCD will be 8.

Answer:
x = 10 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply first equation by 5 and 2nd equation by 3 then subtract equation 1 and 2, we get,
10x+15y= 130
9x+15y=120
( -) (-) (-)

x= 10
substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get
2x + 3y = 26
2*10 + 3y = 26
3y = 26-20
y =6/3
y= 2.i hope this helps
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of the constant at the end of the equation, look for where the line meets the y-axis (here it is +1). Since all of the answer choices have 4 as a slope, looking to see if the line is going down or up will tell you if it's -4 or +4. (here it is negative)
I will have "x" represent the unknown number, or you could use a "?", doesn't matter.
[8 is less than or equal to (≤) the quotient (÷) of a number and -4, so the number is being divided by -4]
If you need to solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
Multiply -4 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and get "x" by itself
When you multiply/divide by a negative number, you flip the sign (< >)
-32 ≥ x [-32 is greater than or equal to x, or x is less than or equal to -32]
