Answer: 689 + 30/32

Step-by-step explanation:

A reduction of A by B, means that we need to solve:

A - B.

So if we want to reduce 738 and 7/32 by 48 and 9/32 we have to solve:

(738 + 7/32) - (48 + 9/32)

we can separate it into whole and fraction:

(738 - 48) + (7/32 - 9/32)

690 - 2/32

But we usually don't want a negative fraction, so we can use that:

1 = 32/32

690 - 2/32 = 689 + 1 - 2/32 = 689 +32/32 - 2/32 = 689 + 30/32

4x + 12 = -7y -y + 12 = 4x Solve with elimination

Take the second equation and flip it around so the y on the left ends up on the right and the 4x on the right ends up on the left. This makes all negatives positive and all positives negative. -4x + 12 = y

Then add the first equation to the second equation
4x +12 = -7y
-4x + 12 = y this eliminates the x's
24 = - 6y then divide by - 6
- 6 - 6
- 4 = y

So if you know that y = negative 4, you can substitute into either equation. I pick the second one because I am a lazy person.
-y + 12 = 4 x
-(-4) + 12 = 4 x combine your numbers
 16 = 4 x then divide by 4
 4 = x
So your solution is: x = 4 and y = -4 or this is also written (4, -4)

Does that work for you?

Do cross multiplication.
Convert ounce to pound.
8 ounce is 0.5 lbs
x/0.5 = 17.95/1
x=8.975
