If Farmer George starts painting in the morning, and only has 3/4 of a chicken coop left to paint:
3-3/4=
12/4-3/4=9/4 painting in the morning
To put it in a mixed number, 2 1/4 (aka 2.25)
Answer:
Positive to negiative and they counded by 2s for the positive one and 6s for the negative one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
(4y + 8) - (7y - 12) = 11 is 1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11
1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11 Given
4y + 8 - 7y + 12 = 11 Distribute the 1 and the -1
-3y + 20 = 11 Combine like terms
-3y = -9 Subtract 20 from both sides
y = 3 Divide both sides by -3
Answer:
y = 3
Given:

To find:
The simplified expression by factoring.
Solution:
Let us factor the numerator:

31x can be written as 3x + 28x.

Take 3x common in 1st two terms and 7 common in next two terms.

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.
Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

In the same way, factorize the denominator:

8x can be written as 4x + 4x.

Take 4x common in 1st two terms and 1 common in next two terms.

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.
Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

Substitute the terms we found for numerator and denominator:

Cancel the common factors.

The simplified expression is
.
For the first one, we will have to factor out the numbers. So 2 times 4x is 8x and 2 times 5 is 10. Our new expression will now be 8x + 10 = 8x + 10. Now, since these are equal, x must equal 1.
