\large\begin{array}{l} \mathsf{6\,\dfrac{1}{6}-3\,\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\ =\mathsf{\left(6+\dfrac{1}{6}\right)-\left(3+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}\\\\ =\mathsf{\left(\dfrac{6\cdot 6}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}\right)-\left(\dfrac{4\cdot 3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}\\\\ =\mathsf{\left(\dfrac{36}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}\right)-\left(\dfrac{12}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}\\\\ =\mathsf{\dfrac{36+1}{6}-\dfrac{12+1}{4}} \end{array}

\large\begin{array}{l} =\mathsf{\dfrac{37}{6}-\dfrac{13}{4}\qquad(i)} \end{array}


\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{The LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.

\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{Writing the result in the mixed form:}\\\\ =\mathsf{\dfrac{24+11}{12}}\\\\ =\mathsf{\dfrac{24}{12}+\dfrac{11}{12}}\\\\ =\mathsf{\dfrac{2\cdot \diagup\!\!\!\!\! 12}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\! 12}+\dfrac{11}{12}}\\\\ =\mathsf{2+\dfrac{11}{12}}\\\\ =\mathsf{2\,\dfrac{11}{12}}\qquad\quad\checkmark \end{array}

The answer is 35/12 and simplify that and u get 2 11/12.

To show my work apparently since the mods wont stop deleting my answers, here.

 I first found a common denominator and use it to rewrite each fraction. Then I, subtracted the whole numbers and fractions separately.

Juan is making t-shirts to sell at a concert.
o-na [289]

Answer:

7 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

The function for producing shirts is

f($) = 50 + 7.5(x), where x is the number of shirt

The function for selling shirts is

f($) = 15(x)

For there to be a profit, he must make more money selling the shirts than he spent on making the shirts

Therefore, 15(x) > 50 + 7.5(x)

15x > 50 + 7.5x

15x - 7.5x > 50

7.5x > 50

x > 6.67 shirts

To make a profit, Juan must sell at least 7 shirts

Which of the following is true of the discriminant for the graph below?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

<u>Option C. It is zero</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents a quadratic equation

The quadratic equation has the form ⇒a x² + b x + c

The discriminant of the quadratic equation is D = b² - 4ac

From the discriminant of the quadratic equation, we can know the type of roots of the quadratic equation.

  1. If D > 0 ⇒ Two real roots.
  2. If D = 0 ⇒ one real roots
  3. If D < 0 ⇒ Two imaginary roots.

The roots of the quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the function.

As shown at the figure, the quadratic equation has only one point of intersection with the x-axis

So, the function has only one root ⇒ D = 0

So, the discriminant of the quadratic equation = 0

<u>The answer is option C. It is zero</u>

Solve the following system of linear equations by graphing:<br> 2x + 2y = 10<br> 8x + 8y = 24
andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x - 8y = -20

8x + 8y = 24

0 ≠ 4

2y = -2x + 10

y = -x + 5

8y = -8x + 24

y = -x + 3
