Answer:

7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a common denominator in this equation, which would be 20. By changing the fractions to this denominator you would simply get 15-8 which equals 7

Answer:

7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make both denominators equal to 20. To do this, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number. Start with 3/4.

<em>What number that when multiplied by 4 will give you 20?</em>

<em />

That's right, 5. Let's multiply the numerator and denominator by 5 to create a new, but equivalent, fraction.

Numerator:

3 x 5 = 15

Denominator:

4 x 5 = 20

The new fraction is 15/20

Now, let's do the same thing for the fraction 2/5.

<em>What number that when multiplied by 5 will give you 20?</em>

<em />

You're right, it's 4! Let's multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to create a new fraction.

Numerator:

2 x 4 = 8

Denominator:

5 x 4 = 20

The new fraction is 8/20

Finally, subtract! In order to subtract, all you have to do is subtract the numerators and keep the denominators the same.

15/20 - 8/20 = 7/20

(This is because 15 - 8 = 7)

Good job, you just subtracted fractions with different denominators! Hope this helps :)

\bf \begin{array}{cll} \stackrel{ordinal}{position}&\stackrel{term}{value}\\ \cline{1-2} 1&12\\ 2&12+d\\ 3&12+d+d\\ 4&12+d+d+d\\ &12+3d \end{array}\qquad \implies ~\hfill \begin{array}{llll} \stackrel{\textit{4th term}}{12+3d}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{4th value}}{3}\\\\ 3d=-9\implies d = \cfrac{-9}{3}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{common difference}}{d = -3} \end{array}

well, we know the common difference is -3, to go from the 4th term to the 8th term, we need to add "d" 4 times or namely 3+4(-3), likewise to go from the 13th term to the 19th term we have to add "d" 6 times, or namely -24 + 6(-3).

\bf \stackrel{\textit{8th term}}{3+4(-3)}\implies 3-12\implies -9 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{19th term}}{-24 + 6(-3)}\implies -24-18\implies -42
