For this specific equation the answer is x - 2
To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,by turning into fractions[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8 11/2 - 27/8To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4 44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1. In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.
Use first differences. You are subtracting. Difference = Subtracting.
9 - x = 4
4 - x = -1
-1 - x = -6
Find for x.
9 - x = 4
- x = 5
x = -5
Therefore the answer is B.
Proof:
9 - 5 = 4
4 - 5 = -1
-1 - 5 = -6
