Hey there :)

-7 \frac{2}{3} = - \frac{23}{3}
-5 \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{11}{2}
8 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{35}{4}

- \frac{23}{3} - \frac{11}{2} + \frac{35}{4}

We need to change all fractions to have a common denominator 

Lets see:
Multiples of 2: 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 12
Multiplies of 3: 3 , 6 , 9 , 12
Multiplies of 4: 4 , 8, 12

The common denominator is 12
2 x 6 = 12
3 x 4 = 12
4 x 3 = 12

= -\frac{23(4)}{3(4)} -  \frac{11(6)}{2(6)} +  \frac{35(3)}{4(3)}
= -  \frac{92}{12} -  \frac{66}{12} +  \frac{105}{12}

We need to add the numerators while keeping the same denominator
= - \frac{53}{12}
= -4 \frac{5}{12}

Please help, I will give brainliest, I am struggling badly.
Alja [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice they both have the same slope of 3x so they are parallel, but different y intercepts. This means the lines never intersect and thus there are no solutions to the system of equations.

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, opposite lengths are equal.

So it means that the length (5y - 20) is equal to (2y + 25).

Now that there is only one variable in the equation, we can solve for the variable.

5y - 20 = 2y + 25

5y - 2y = 25 + 20

3y = 35

y = 15

Annie traveled 5 times the sum of the number of hours Brian traveled and 2. together they traveled 20 hours. find the number of
kari74 [83]
Well There isn't enough evidence to tell how many hours each of them worked. Yu stated how long they each traveled separately but did not state the amount of hours worked, or any proof for it.

But Assuming that by worked you mean traveled.
Annie traveled 5 times the sum of the number of hours Brian traveled and 2. together they traveled 20 hours. find the number of hours each person worked.So 20 is 6 times the number of hours Annie & Brian Worked + 10
(From the 10 extra hours Annie worked from +2)
10/6=1 hour and 40 min
So Brain worked/traveled for 1 hour and 40 minuets. 
Then we find Annie's time. Add 2 hours to 1 hour and 40 and you get
3 hours 40 times that by 5 and you get 18 hours and 20 min
So Annie worked/traveled for 18 hours and 20 min
I hope this helped

Bella types at a constant rate of 42 words per minute. Is the number of words she can type proportional to the number of minutes
solmaris [256]
Yes, the number of words ARE proportional to the number of minutes she types, away to tell is when it says Bella types at a CONSTANT rate of 42 words per minute. This means for every minute 42 words will be added.
