get a common denominator which is 24
3 7/8 = 3 21/24
6 /4 = 6 6 /24
3 21/24 - 6 6 /24
big number minus small number take sign of larger
6 6/24
- 3 21/24
-------------
5 30/24
3 21/24
--------------
2 9/24
2 3/8
the sign of the larger is negative
-2 3/8
Answer:
just one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 8 = −2 − 2 + 5x
4x - 5x = -2 - 2 - 8
x = 12

Answer: Y=-1
Explanation: 2y-3=y-4 (add three on both sides)
2y=y-1 (subtract y on both sides)
y=-1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Sides of the picture added margin:</u>
<u>Solution</u>:
- A(margin) = Total area - A(picture)
- (8 + 2x)(5 + 2x) - 5*8 = 30
- 4x² + 10x + 16x + 40 - 40 - 30 = 0
- 4x² + 26x - 30 = 0
- 2x² + 13x - 15 = 0
- x = (-13 + √(13² + 2*4*15))/4
- x = (-13 + 17)/4
- x = 1 cm
Note. The other root is ignored as negative.
