Ok to figure it out you first find the common factor, which is 12
so the fractions become 8 3/12 and 10/12 then you subtract those 2,
8 3/12-10/12 is 7 5/12.
Hope That Helps!!!
8-9=-1 because it does not stop it goes to the negative number -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
← factor both numerator and denominator
= 
← cancel common factor (1 - 2b) on numerator/denominator
= 
← cancel 6 and 3 by 3

In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.
In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.
In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...
9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34
Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.
This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the cost in dollars of a hamburger and "y" the cost in dollars of a soft drink.
The cost of 4 hamburguers can be represented with this expression:
And the cost of 6 soft drinks can be represented with this expression:
Since the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks is $34, you can write the following equation:
<em>[Equation 1]</em>
The following expression represents the the cost of 3 soft drinks:
According to the information given in the exercise, the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks is $25. Then, the equation that represents this is:
<em> [Equation 2]</em>
Therefore, the <em>Equation 1 </em>and the <em>Equation 2 </em>can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink
