let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add, bearing in mind that the LCD from 8 and 4 is simply 8.

Answer:
a is a value of 5 and b is is equal to 9
Step-by-step explanation:
all you have to do is get 16 and 4 by them self and take them out, and find the remaining numbers
1. 2n + 2*5 =2
2. 2n + 10 = 2
3. 2n = 2 -10
4. 2n= -8
5. n = -8/2
6. n = -4
Answer: 160 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
If an octagon has 8 sides and the side length is 20 inches, 20 x 8 = 160 inches. That means she needs 160 inches of wire.
