there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 6 inches is really just half a foot, thus 3'6" is really just 3.5' or 3½ feet.

now, let's convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind our LCD will be 8.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{5}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+5}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{45}{8}-\cfrac{7}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)45~~-~~(4)7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{45-28}{8}\implies \cfrac{17}{8}\implies 2\frac{1}{8}

She has 1 and 1/8 foot of wood left.

3 feet and 6 inches is equal to 3 and 1/2 feet.

3 and 1/2 feet are also equal to 3 and 4/8 feet.

Subtract 3 4/8 from 4 5/8.

4 5/8 - 3 4/8 = 1 1/8.

Hope this helps!

If it does, it would help me a lot if you could make me brainliest.

Answer:

3x + y = -16      

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given a system of equations are

        5x+6y =-5  

       - 2x  - 5y = -11

multiply '1' and Adding two system of equtions

                 + 1      (5x   +  6y   =  -5)

                + 1      (<u> -2x    -   5y  =   -11)</u>

                   <u>       3x    +    y   = -16           </u>

<u>Final answer:-</u>

                          5x   +  6y   =  -5

                        <u> -2x    -   5y  =   -11</u>

                   <u>       3x    +    y   = -16           </u>

Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Then she donates $2 to clean wate
borishaifa [10]

We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.

Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.

Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.

Therefore, we can set up:

0\times x+35\times y=7245\Rightarrow 35y=7245\Rightarrow y=\frac{7245}{35}=207

Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:

2(x+y)=1242\Rightarrow x+y=621\Rightarrow x+207=621\Rightarrow x=414

Therefore,

Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.
