How do you solve 3 1/4- 1 7/8 step by step?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1 3/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/4 - 1 7/8

First convert to improper fractions:

3 1/4 = (3*4) + 1 / 4 =  13/4.

1 7/8 = (1 *8)+7 / 8 = 15/8. So we have:

13/4 - 15/8

The Lowest Common Multiple of 4 and 8 is 8 so we convert 13/4 to eighth's

13 / 4 = 13*2 / 4 *2 = 26/8

Finally: we have

26/8 - 15/8 = (26 - 15) /8

= 11 /8

= 1 3/8 (answer)

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form 1,3 and -3,-5
oksian1 [2.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 1,3)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3, -5)

We found the slope:

m = \frac{y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Substituting we have:

m = \frac {-5-3} {- 3-1} = \frac {-8} {- 4} = 2

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = 2x + b

We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:

3 = 2 (1) + b\\3 = 2 + b\\3-2 = b\\b = 1

Finally, the equation is:

y = 2x + 1

ANswer:

y = 2x + 1

How do you figure out the answer?
svp [43]

we can divide the composite shape into on quadrilateral and triangle as shown in the diagram. since the line that joins the two shape is parallel to the base AB, the angle DEC is 85°.The angle CEA is 180°- angle DEC = 180-85=95. Angle BCE is sum of angle CEA, ABC and EAB subtracted from360°= 360°-(95+95+85)=85°. Angle DCE is 120°- ECB=35°. So, angle CDE = 180°-(35°+85°)= 60°. For reference see the diagram.
