-2x - 3x = -5x
8 - 4 = 4
-5x + 4
Yes, it’s D because you would have want to compare both fractions by making them have the same denominator. Since 60 is the least common denominator for 10 and 12 (the denominators), you would convert the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 5/10 by 6 to get 60. 5/10 would turn into 30/60. Then you would multiply 6/12 both by 5, and then it would turn into 30/60. Now that you have equal fractions, you can guess that they are the same. Therefore, 30/60=30/60! An easier way of doing it would be just simplifying them into 1/2 and comparing them + seeing that they are both 1/2. Hope this helps!

Answer: 55
Explanation:
Find the area of the entire shape: 7x9=63
Find the area of the missing piece: 8
7-3=4 9-5=4 4x4=16 16/2=8
Find the area: 63-8=55
Yes the correct answer is D. Hope this helps :)
