Renaming fractions is also called "borrowing" - it's because you borrow fraction parts from the wholes of a mixed number.

this is necessary when, if you subtract, the subtracted fraction part is bigger than the fraction part of the number from which you subtract: so here 3/4 is bigger than 1/4 and we need to borrow

if we wanted to subtract 3/4 from 4 1/4 then you're stuck: how do you subtract 3/4 from 1/4? you can't, but you can change 4 1/4 into 3 5/4 !!!! it's the same number, you just borrowed from the whole unmbers and put into the fraction!

now we can subtract: 3 5/4-3/4 is 3 2/4


3\frac{5}{4}- \frac{1}{3}  =3 \frac{2}{4} =3\frac{1}{2}

5x-2y=30 complete the missing solution to the equation​
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

I would have to go with x = 8 and y = 5, meaning the solution is (8, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 30

5(8) - 2(5) = 30

40 - 10 = 30

30 = 30

A square rug lies in the middle of a rectangular room. There are 6 feet of uncovered floor on 2 sides of the rug and 2 feet of u
Gekata [30.6K]

The polynomial expression for the area of the room is f(x) = x^2 + 16x + 48.

Here, we are given that the side of the length of the rug = x

Now, the square rug is placed on the rectangular room such that on 2 sides the uncovered floor is 6 meters.

This means that the length of the 2 opposite sides of the rectangle will be (x + 6 + 6) = (x + 12)

Similarly, there is 2 feet of uncovered floor on the other 2 sides, which means that the length of other two opposite sides is- (x + 2 + 2) = (x + 4)

Kindly refer to the diagram below for a better clarity of how we found out the sides.

Now, the area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

Thus, area of the room = (x + 12) (x + 4)

= x^2 + 4x + 12x + 48

= x^2 + 16x + 48

Thus, the polynomial expression for the area of the room is f(x) = x^2 + 16x + 48
