Ok sweetheart, the easy way to solve these problems is to change them to all the same form for example "decimal" after that you sort them! just don't forget to remember which is which!!! so this is how you solve.
squared 25, 4.26, 3 1/5 2^3,2.58
i converted each so your answer is A.
-x intercepts: 5, -2
-1/2(x-5)(x+2) is wider than the first equation because the coefficient is smaller
If you are saying:
(3/12) - (8/12)
Then since their denominators are the same we can subtract the numerators to get our answers.
3 - 8 = -5
Following the rule of adding and subtracting fractions, the denominators will not change unless they are different.
So: (3/12) - (8/12) = -5/12
