To subtract fractions, we need an lcd( lowest common denominator)
8. the lcd is 42 because it’s the smallest number that 6 and 7 are both factors of. the lcd is the bottom of the fraction
to make the denominator of (4/7) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 6 and we get (24/42)
to make the denominator of (3/6) 42, we will multiply the top and bottom by 7 and we get (21/42)
these two numbers now have the same denominator so we subtract them
24/42 - 21/42 = 3/42 which simplifies to 1/14
9. since these fractions already have a common denominator, we will make them mixed fractions
-5(2/7) as a mixed fraction. first multiply 5*7 which is 35. now add 2 which is 37. our mixed fraction is -37/7
-1(5/7) as a mixed fraction. multiple 1*7 which is 7. now add 5 which is 12. our mixed fraction is -12/7
now subtract (-37/7) - (12/7) and we get -49/7 which simplifies to -7
Answer:
Well first see what the points are
Step-by-step explanation:
Example :
u have an endpoint at (6,5)......ad the midpoint is (4,2)....find the other endpoint.
midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2
one endpoint (6,5)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 5
other endpoint (x,y)...x2 = x and y2 = y
sub into the formula
m = (6 + x) / 2, (5 + y) / 2
okay, so the midpoint is (4,2)....so ur x value will equal 4
(6 + x) / 2 = 4...multiply both sides by 2
6 + x = 4 * 2
6 + x = 8
x = 8 - 6
x = 2 <==
midpoint is (4,2)....so the y value will equal 2
(5 + y) / 2 = 2 ...multiply both sides by 2
5 + y = 2 * 2
5 + y = 4
y = 4 - 5
y = -1 <==
so ur other endpoints are (2,-1)
