So this one is a little tricky because in order to solve you need to combine like terms. The only problem is that two fractions don't have the same denominator.
This is what you do.
2/3 - 1/9
= (2*9) - (1*3) / 3*9
= 18 - 3 / 27
= 15/ 27
Simplify.
5/9 + y = 7/9
Now since you need to isolate the variable you have to subtract 5/9 from both sides. Since the denominator is the same you can just subtract the numerator.
So y = 2/9
I hope this helps love! :)

Find the area of the unshaded part of the figure

Tcecarenko [31]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

unshaded area = 25(4 -π) in^2 ≈ 21.46 in^2

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Each of the shaded circles has a diameter of (20 in)/4 = 5 in, which also is the width of the enclosing rectangle. Then each circle has a radius of 2.5 in, and an area of ...

A = πr^2 = π(2.5 in)^2 = 6.25π in^2

The four circles together have an area of ...

4A = 4·(6.25π in^2) = 25π in^2

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:

A = LW = (20 in)(5 in) = 100 in^2

Since the circles are shaded, the unshaded area is the difference between the rectangle area and the total area of the four circles:

unshaded area = (100 in^2) - (25π in^2) = 25(4 -π) in^2 ≈ 21.46 in^2

Why do we say that a number is squared when raised to the power of 2

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

We say that it is squared because we are multiplying that number twice. A square has two sides, therefore we are squaring the number.
