Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:

you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4

then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.

so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left

Consider the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+5=0,where a, b and c are rational numbers and the quadratic has two distinct zeros.
FrozenT [24]
You have shared the situation (problem), except for the directions:  What are you supposed to do here?  I can only make a educated guesses.  See below:

Note that if    <span>ax^2+bx+5=0    then it appears that c = 5 (a rational number).

Note that for simplicity's sake, we need to assume that the "two distinct zeros" are real numbers, not imaginary or complex numbers.  If this is the case, then the discriminant,    b^2 - 4(a)(c), must be positive.  Since c = 5, 

b^2 - 4(a)(5) > 0, or b^2 - 20a > 0.

Note that if the quadratic has two distinct zeros, which we'll call "d" and "e," then 

(x-d) and (x-e) are factors of ax^2 + bx + 5 = 0, and that because of this fact,

         - b plus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
d =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

and

 </span>         - b minus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
e =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

Some (or perhaps all) of these facts may help us find the values of "a" and "b."  Before going into that, however, I'm asking you to share the rest of the problem statement.  What, specificallyi, were you asked to do here?

Answer:

Ada is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems with Naman:

Naman is supposed to follow PEMDAS, which is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplications

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

The mistake: Naman moved +6 to the left and added it to the 2 located on the left side of the expression. You cannot do that, as it breaks the law of PEMDAS. On the other hand, Ada did the correct thing, which was to distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis (as one term in the parenthesis has a variable, and the other is a constant, meaning that they cannot be combined). This leads to Naman not doing the rest of the question correct.

Next, Ada correctly combined the two constants, which resulted in 0. 0 means nothing, therefore the placeholder is not needed. Therefore, 8x is the final answer.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6.50w

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Weight ________ Cost ($)

1 ______________6.50

2 _____________ 13.00

3 _____________ 19.50

Cost of package that weighs w pounds

If one pound = 6.50

2 pounds = 13.0

Then, the cost per pound = $6.50

Hence, cost of package that weighs w pounds will be ;

$6.50 * w = $6.50w
