2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 4/12

You start with 8/12 and eat 4/12 so 4/12 (or one quarter) remains.

Answer:  The fraction of the bag that left is \dfrac{5}{12}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a \dfrac{2}{3} of a bag of jelly jeans and Danny ate \dfrac{1}[4} of the bag last night.

We are to find the fraction of the bag that left.

Let A be the fraction of the bag that is full of jelly beans and B be the fraction of the bag that Danny ate last night.

Then, according to the given information, we have

A=\dfrac{2}{3},~~~B=\dfrac{1}{4}.

Therefore, the fraction of the bag that left is given by

L=A-B=\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{8-3}{12}=\dfrac{5}{12}.

Thus, the fraction of the bag that left is \dfrac{5}{12}.

Instructions: Simplify the algebraic expression.<br><br> −12(32x−10y)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

-384x - 120y

Step-by-step explanation:

General Concepts and Formulas:

Brackets

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division
A
ddition
S
ubtraction

Steps:

1) Distribute

-12(32x-10y)

We must distribute the expression above by multiplying -12 by the coefficients and then adding the variables.

So first, multiple -12 by 32 and add the variable 'x' when getting the product:

-12(-384x - 10y)

Now that we have one part, let's solve the other part.

We now must multiple -12 by -10, which gets us 120, now we must plug in:

(-384x - 120y)

(Remove parenthesis)

⇒  -384x - 120y

Solve the simultaneous equations by substitution<br> 4x+3y=-2<br> 3y=4-x
stiv31 [10]

Answer: x=-2 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

I decided that isolating the y value of the second equation is the best way to start solving.

I divide 3 from both sides to get y= (4-x)/3. With this, I can substitute into the first equation. 4x+3(4-x)/3)=-2.

The multiplying the 3 by the denominator three cancels each other out to make:

4x+4-x=-2.

We subtract 4 on both sides and then subtract x from 4x.

We end up with 3x=-6. Then, we divide both sides by 3.

x=-2.

Now we substitute this into the second equation to solve.

3y=4-(-2)

This becomes 3y=4+2 which is 3y=6

We divide both sides by 3 to get y=2

We end up with x=-2 and y=2.

I hope you learned something :)
