What is 1/3x -5/7 equal to

1 answer:

3 0

It can't be simplified because 1/3x and -5/7 aren't like terms and therefore you cannot do addition or subtraction with them.

If you meant x as in multiplied by then here is the solution:
1/3*-5/7
(1*-5)/(3*7)
-5/21

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$x = - \frac{25}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{10}{3} = \frac{x}{( - \frac{5}{2}) }$

<h3>i) simplify the complex fraction</h3>

$\frac{10}{3} = - \frac{2x}{5}$

<h3>ii) simplify the equation using cross multiplication</h3>

$5(10) = - 2x(3)$

$50 = - 6x$

<h3>iii) swap the sides of the equation</h3>

$- 6x = 50$

<h3>iv) divide both sides of the equation by -6</h3>

$\frac{ - 6x}{ - 6} = \frac{50}{ - 6}$

$x = - \frac{50}{6}$

<h3>v) simplify the fraction</h3>

$x = - \frac{25}{3}$

What polynomial should be subtracted from the polynomial y^2–5y+1 to get the difference equal to: y^2

fomenos

<h3>Answer:</h3>

-5y +1

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let the polynomial to be subtracted be represented by Q. Then you want ...

... (y^2 -5y +1) -Q = y^2

... (y^2 -5y +1) = y^2 +Q . . . . add Q

... (y^2 -5y +1) -y^2 = Q . . . . .subtract y^2

... -5y +1 = Q . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The polynomial to be subtracted is -5y +1.
