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

Across the top: 8, 9, 2

Down the side: 4, 3, 6

8 x 4 = 32

9 x 4 = 36

2 x 4 = 8

4 x 8 = 32

3 x 8 = 24

6 x 8 = 48

Hope this helps!

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sum of any two side lengths of a triangle will always be greater than the length of the remaining side

a doesn't work because 8+12=20 and 20 is not greater than 20

b doesn't work because 4+5=9 and 9<10

d doesn't work because 6+6=12 and 12 is not greater than 12

c is the only option where you can take any two sides, add them, and the sum will be greater than the remaining side.

For example, for c,

6+8=14, and 14>10

8+10=18, and 18>6

10+6=16, and 16>8

(look at image) can i get help with these two?
serg [7]

Answer:

1. x = 2, AC = 30, AB - 4

2. y = 4, AB = 34, BC = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

1. AB + BC = AC so 26 + (10 - 3x) = 14x +2 and then add 3x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides to get x on one side and an integer on the other side which is 34 = 17x and then divide 17 from both sides to get x = 2 and then substitute x into the AC and AB equations to find the values its equal to.

2. The symbol in the given means that the two lengths are congruent which means they are equal to each other so you put the two equations equal to each other and solve for y. 9y -2 = 14 + 5y, so subtract 5y from both sides and add two to both sides to get 4y = 16 and then divide both sides by 4 to get y = 4 and then substitute in the answer to find the lengths of AB and BC.
