Answer:
- 1 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 1/5 + - 3/5
Since the signs are the same, we add and take the sign
1 1/5 + 3/5
1 4/5
The sign is negative
- 1 4/5
On the number line start at - 1 1/5 and go to the left 3/5( since the sign is negative) you will end up at - 1 4/5
Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.
b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.
You will need to find a common multiple of the two. For example:
2: 2, 4, 6
3: 3, 6
The common multple here is 6, so the answer is 6.

That answer is correct, 9x + 4 -5y. Only like terms are the x terms and we add 3 and 6 together.
