2 1/2 is in mixed fraction. So let's first make it into improper fraction.
(2*2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
5/2 of 7.25 = (5*7.25) / 2 = 18.125
in short, 18.125 is the answer
First, you combine like terms. I would start by circling the term and the sign in front of it. (A term is a piece separated by an addition/subtraction sign.) You can only combine terms with the same variable. 4.8a-2.1a-6.3b+7b is the same as your equation, just rearranged. Then, subtract (4.8a-2.1a) which is 2.7a. Add (-6.3b to 7b) The answer is 0.7b.

This would be easier for you if you put it in a graph
Simplified firstly ,y = -x-8,
and then make two point,(-8.0)(0.-8),line them.finish.if u wanna get more details,tell me
