-2 1/2 - (-1 3/4) ? ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Olin [163]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

- 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 1/2 - (-1 3/4)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

-2 1/2 + (1 3/4)

Get a common denominator of 4

-2 2/4 + 1 3/4

The signs are different so we subtract and take the sign of the larger

2 2/4 - 1  3/4

Borrowing from the 2

1 4/4 + 2/4 - 1 3/4

1 6/4 - 1 3/4

3/4

2 2/4 was larger and it was negative so we add a negative sign

- 3/4

Find the volume of the composite figure. please!
Irina-Kira [14]
Volume= Length * width ( aka Base ) * height 

Break up the figure into easier figures, a small square and a bigger square.

Small square- 3*2*1 = 6 cm

Large Square- 7*6*1 = 42 cm

42 + 6 = 48 cm. But wait! You have to take one more step, which is minus-ing 6 from 48. Why? Notice that there is a little area where a side of the small square meets the bigger square. That little area is worth 3 cm ( length is 3, height is 1 cm ) times 2 ( 3 cm is one side, another 3 cm is the other side from the other square ) = 6 cm.

Your total answer should be 42. ( or 48, if your teacher doesn't count the area where the squares meet/join together ).

Find the equation of the line with slope = 6 and passing through (6,43). Write your equation in the form y = m x + b .
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

y = 6x + 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form of a line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = 6, x1 = 6 and y1 = 43:

y - 43 = 6(x - 6)

y - 43 = 6x - 36

y = 6x - 36 + 43

y = 6x + 7.
