2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
Hey. Why are you so worried. Here is the answer. There is a very small problem.It is that the decimal point is not added.
Answer:
a = 18.15
Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.
Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

Divide both sides by -2.

In this equation, a should equal

Step-by-step explanation:
3 |a-b| +2|b-1|
a= -2 and b=-4
3 |-2--4| +2|-4-1|
3 |-2+4| +2|-4-1|
3 |2| +2|-5|
Absolute value means takes whatever is inside and make it positive
3*2 +2*5

Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the numbers in the expression and do the arithmetic.
(-8)² - |-12| = 64 -12 = 52
