take 16+5=21. 29-21=8 so answer is 8
The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached picture for explanation.
Let y be x, and x be y.
x = 4y - 8
Rearrange to make y the subject.
x + 8 = 4y
Therefore
y = (x + 8) / 4
is the inverse.
