Answer:
x = 3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
−1/2 − (−4/5) = x
First, switch sides.
x = −1/2 − (−4/5)
You are subtracting a negative number. Subtracting a negative number means add a positive number.
x = -1/2 + 4/5
Now you are adding two fractions, so you need a common denominator. The LCD of 2 and 5 is 10.
x = -5/10 + 8/10
x = 3/10
Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:
35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.
I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)
When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:
27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200
So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).
If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)

SInce the students at the door had to pay twice as much as the students who payed in advance, you would do 32*2=64
Answer:
x = 1± 3i
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-2x+10=0
We can complete the square to solve by subtracting 10 from each side
x^2-2x+10-10=-10
x^2 -2x = -10
We need to add (2/2) ^2 to each side or 1
x^2 -2x+1 = -10 +1
x^2 -2x+1 = -9
The left side factors into (x- (2/2) ) ^2
(x-1) ^2 = -9
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-1) ^2 =± sqrt(-9)
x-1 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(3)
Remember the sqrt(-1) = i
x-1 = ± 3i
Add 1 to each side
x-1+1 = 1± 3i
x = 1± 3i
