17/56
So to make sure that you are subtracting right, you make the denominators the same. So the denominator is 56 because it is a common number for 7 and eight. And then whatever you do to the bottom you got to do to top so time seven by eight and 4 which is 49 and 24 so 49-24 is 17/56 so the answer would be this because you can’t simplify the answer down.

$\frac{2}{9}$ - $\frac{7}{12}$
Make the two fractions have common denominators. 9 and 12 both fit into 36, so multiply the top and bottom of $\frac{2}{9}$ by 4 and $\frac{7}{12}$ by 3.

$\frac{2}{9}$ ⇒ $\frac{8}{36}$
$\frac{7}{12}$ ⇒ $\frac{21}{36}$

Now that both fractions have common denominators, you can subtract them easily. Subtract the numerators (8 - 21) and keep the denominators the same.

$\frac{8}{36}$ - $\frac{21}{36}$ = $\frac{-13}{36}$

a = -13
b = 36

What is the measure of m

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

m = 4√6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the similarity of smaller triangles we get:

n/8 = 4/n ⇒ n² = 8*4 ⇒ n² = 32

Use Pythagorean to find the length of m:

m² = 8² + n²
m² = 64 + 32
m² = 96
m = √96
m = 4√6

The temperature of a pot of water is 50⁰ F. The temperature rises 15⁰ per minute. Write an equation below in y=mx + b form to ex

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The equation to express this situation is y = 15x + 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the temperature of a pot of water is 50⁰, i.e. at after x = 0 minutes the temperature was, y = 50⁰.

And the temperature rises 15⁰ per minute.

So, after x₁ = 5 minutes, the temperature was, y₁ = 125⁰.

And similarly after x₂ = 10 minutes, the temperature was, y₂ = 200⁰.

Compute the equation to express this situation as follows:

$(y-y_{1})=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\cdot (x-x_{1})\\\\(y-125)=\frac{200-125}{10-5}\times (x-5)\\\\y-125=15x-75\\\\y=15x-50$

Thus, the equation to express this situation is y = 15x + 50.
