So let's name the numbers x and y.

we know that their sum, x+y is 7\frac{2}{8}

and that that their difference, x-y is 2\frac{4}{8}

so, from the last one we can find out x:

x-y=2\frac{4}{8}
x=2\frac{4}{8}+y


we can substitute this into the first one:

2\frac{4}{8}+y+y = 7\frac{2}{8}

2\frac{4}{8}+2y = 7\frac{2}{8}

2y=4\frac{6}{8} (7-2=5, but you have to "borrow" one because the fraction of the number from which you substract is smaller than of the other number)

so y=2\frac{3}{8}

then x will be
x=2\frac{4}{8}+2\frac{3}{8}
x=4\frac{7}{8}

Simplify 3 - (4x - 5) + 6.<br> A) 12x + 21 <br> B) 4x + 14 <br> C) 4x + 4 <br> D) -4x + 14
stepladder [879]

Answer:

D) -4x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the expression

3 - (4x - 5) + 6

Here we are going to open the bracket at first step

as we have a negative sign in front of bracket the signs of the terms inside brackets will be reversed

3-4x+5+6

now we bring the like terms together

3+5+6 - 4x

Here 3, 5, 6 all are constant and hence like

14-4x

or

3 - (4x - 5) + 6= -4x+14

Hence our answer is -4x+14

Name 2 semi circles<br><br><br>​
mart [117]

Answer:

Arc CDE and arc EAC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Semicircles are exactly one-half of a circle and are always equal to 180 degrees. Since line CE is a horizontal line, measuring 180 degrees, 2 semicircles can be arcs CDE and EAC because they equal half of the circle.

I hope this helps!
