Answer:
-3 1/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
−7/8 − 2 1/4
= -7/8 + -9/4
= -7/8 - 18/8
= -25/8
= -3 1/8.
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1 - (-3) - 5 = 1 + 3 - 5
Thats because subtracting by a negative number is the same as adding the negative number's absolute value (Distance away from zero).
(1 + 3) - 5 = -1

This would be 56 - p because 'fewer' indicates subtraction.
Answer:
5x - 4y = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
5x - 4y = 36 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
- 4y = - 5x + 36 ( divide all terms by - 4 )
y =
x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (8, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 10 = - 8
y =
x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 4
4y = 5x - 32 ( subtract 4y from both sides )
0 = 5x - 4y - 32 ( add 32 to both sides )
32 = 5x - 4y, that is
5x - 4y = 32 ← in standard form
