Answer: You can't. Read explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't subtract an expression from an equation. If you said something like subtract 8b-ab+7a from 3a-9ab+b that would work, but not here.

Let's just assume You mean it as 8b-ab-7a, then (3a-9ab+b)-(8b-ab-7a) = -8ab + 10a - 7b.

Hope that helped,

One pump can fill a swimming pool in 72 hours. A second pump can fill the same pool in 60 hours. If

I’m not sure but i think 66 hours because both pumps must fill half of the pool which would split the timing for each which would make pump 1 take 36 hours to fill half and pump two take 30 hours to fill the rest. when you add these hours it equals 66. i hope i helped :)

dusya [7]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}$
