The area of the rectangle is 47 1/2
The answer to 9 would be (-3,-4) and (2,6) because if you plug in -3 for x in either of the equations and plug in 4 for y in the equations, both sides of the equation are the same number. also, if you plug in 2 for x and 6 for y both sides of the equation equal each other. The answer to 10 is (-1,1) and (7,33). if you plug them in they are equal:)
So if I understand correctly, she had 7 1/8 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pound.
Convert the 7 1/8 to an improper fraction [(8*7)+1]/8 =57/8
57/8 - 3/8 = 54/8, which is 6 6/8 which reduces to 6 3/4 pounds left
If she had 7 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pounds, you need to find a common denominator to subtract if you can't do it in your head. 8 would be the common denominator, so:
56/8 - 3/8 = 53/8, which is 6 5/8 pounds left
