Answer:

Answer:  b = 58/5  or 11 3/5 or 11.6 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

b - (3 + 2/5) = 8 + 1/5

Put 3 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 3 + 2/5 = (5×3)/5 + 2/5:

b - (5×3)/5 + 2/5 = 8 + 1/5

5×3 = 15:

b - (15/5 + 2/5) = 8 + 1/5

15/5 + 2/5 = (15 + 2)/5:

b - (15 + 2)/5 = 8 + 1/5

15 + 2 = 17:

b - 17/5 = 8 + 1/5

Put each term in b - 17/5 over the common denominator 5: b - 17/5 = (5 b)/5 - 17/5:

(5 b)/5 - 17/5 = 8 + 1/5

(5 b)/5 - 17/5 = (5 b - 17)/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 8 + 1/5

Put 8 + 1/5 over the common denominator 5. 8 + 1/5 = (5×8)/5 + 1/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = (5×8)/5 + 1/5

5×8 = 40:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 40/5 + 1/5

40/5 + 1/5 = (40 + 1)/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = (40 + 1)/5

40 + 1 = 41:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 41/5

Multiply both sides of (5 b - 17)/5 = 41/5 by 5:

(5 b - 17)/(5 1/5) = 1/5×1/(1/5) 41

1/5×1/(1/5) = 1:

5 b - 17 = 1/5×1/(1/5) 41

1/5×1/(1/5) = 1:

5 b - 17 = 41

Add 17 to both sides:

5 b + (17 - 17) = 17 + 41

17 - 17 = 0:

5 b = 41 + 17

41 + 17 = 58:

5 b = 58

Divide both sides of 5 b = 58 by 5:

(5 b)/5 = 58/5

5/5 = 1:

Answer:  b = 58/5  or 11 3/5 or 11.6 decimal

Setler79 [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

According to the question, you need to find out the distance from your friend's house to school.

<em>Firstly figure out the coordinate of your school and school. Then use formula of distance.</em>

So, we find the coordinates as (7,7) and (5,0).

So, x 1 = 7 y1= 7

x 2 = 5 y2 = 0

~ Use distance formula.

d =  \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2}  + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} }

~ Put all values.

d =  \sqrt{ {(5 - 7)}^{2}  + ( {0 - 7)}^{2} }

~ Simplify it.

d =  \sqrt{ {( - 2)}^{2}  +  {( - 7)}^{2} }

d =  \sqrt{4 + 49}

d =  \sqrt{53}

D= 7.280

Therefore, the distance between your friend's house and your school is 7.3 units.
