3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution with Steps

3/4−2/5=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/4, 2/5) = 20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/4×5/5)−(2/5×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/20−8/20=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−8/20=7/20

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

3/4−2/5

and solve

(3×5)−(2×4)/4×5

=15−8/20

=7/20

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

M=−(4+m)+2 what is m
Alchen [17]

Answer: m=-1

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    m-(-(4+m)+2)=0

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  2m + 2  =   2 • (m + 1)

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

2.2      Solve  :    m+1 = 0  

Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation :  

                     m = -1

Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller numbe
slava [35]
3y  = 5x + 30

y + 5x = 50 .......(1)

3y - 5x = 30 .....(2)        - rearranging the first equation.

Add (1) and (2):-

4y = 80

y = 20  
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30 
x = 6

The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

B) 77.5 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

cut shape into rectangle and triangle

area of rectangle = x*y

area of rectangle = 5*13

area of rectangle = 65

area of triangle = (z-x)*(y-w)/2

area of triangle = 5*3/2

area of triangle = 7.5

Total area = 65 + 7.5

Total area = 77.5, B)
