Since you are recycling the boxes you will be subtracting 2 3/6 and 1 2/3 since you’re a denominators you’re not mad she have to find a common denominator which would be six. So you have to do 2/2 x 2/3 = 4/6. So then you would do 3/6 - 4/6 = 1/6. Then you would subtract 1-2=1. Then you would do 1 + 1/6 = 1 1/6
So the answer is 1 1/6.
I hope this helped
Answer:
D is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
I just took the test
We begin with 1,000 fish in a lake.
Each year the population declines to 15%
Then they put back 500 fish in the lake.
The equation: (1000 * .85) +500
3/(x + 4) = (x + 2)/5
Multiply both sides by 5 :
5 × 3/(x + 4) = 5 × (x + 2)/5
15/(x + 4) = x + 2
Multiply both sides by x + 4 :
(x + 4) × 15/(x + 4) = (x + 4) × (x + 2)
Provided that x + 4 ≠ 0, we can cancel the factors of x + 4 on the left side:
15 = (x + 4) (x + 2)
Expand the product on the right side:
15 = x² + 6x + 8
Move everything to one side:
0 = x² + 6x - 7
We can factorize easily in this case
0 = (x + 7) (x - 1)
Then
x + 7 = 0 or x - 1 = 0
⇒ x = -7 or x = 1
