So, if you have -5/1-5/3 you have to find the LCD (least common denominator) so you can subtract them. The LCD would be 3 because the denominators would be the same and with 1 as a denominator its pretty easy. Then, you would multiply the numerator by 3 and you would get -15/3-5/3 and you can subtract normally. If you subtract correctly you should get -20/3. I really hoped this helped. :)

Find the distance between the points with coordinates (5, 7) and (-3, 1)

Bess [88]

You would use the function root(Xsub2-Xsub1)^2+(Ysub2-Ysub1)^2.

Now plug in your numbers.

This gives you root(7-1)^2+(5-(-3))^2.

Simplify to root(6)^2+(8)^2. Simplify again to root36+64.

Simplify one more time to root 100. now solve.

Your answer is 10.

Answer:

It should be reported as 20.648%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 2 different observed values hence we shall use an average of the 2 values to report the result

Thus value is $\frac{19.564+21.731}{2}=20.6475%$

As we can see that the least count of our observations is upto 3 decimal places hence we have to report a result upto only 3 decimal places thus we need to round off the fourth decimal place thus the digit shall be increased by 1 since we have to drop off 5 and the digit before 5 is 7 which is an odd number.

Thus the result shall be 20.648%

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you need to find the scale factor. This is done through cross multiplying proportions. In this instance, you have to cross multiply x/4 by 3.5/7. When you multiply x and 7, you get 7x. When you multiply 3.5 and 4, you get 14. Simplify by isolating the variable, and you get 2.
