Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:
you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4
then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.
so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left
Use this formula.
and solution is:［（18！）/（6！×（18-6）！）］×（1/2）^6×（1-1/2）^（18-6）≈0.0781604

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 7y = 5x + 2y (you subtract the 2y from both sides)
-3× + 5y = 5x (then add 3x to both sides)
5y = 8x (use x = - 5)
5y = 8x - 5 = -40 (both sides are divided by 5)
y = -8
answer is (-5, -8)
