Answer:  9 1/3 - 2/3 =  8  2/3 .
___________________________________

Note:  If the answer were "8 1/3" ; 

then:  "8 1/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3 ? "  

      → "8 1/3 + 2/3 = 8  3/3 = 8 + 1 = 9 = only "9" ;
____________________________________________
So the answer has to be MORE than "8 1/3"

Try "8 2/3"  → "8 2/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3?" ?? ; 
        
                  → "8 2/3 + 2/3 = 8 4/3 = 8 + 1 1/3 = 9 1/3 " → Yes!
_________________________________________________
 So, the answer is:  "8  2/3" .
_________________________________________________
Another method:
_________________
Given the problem:  "<span>9 1/3 - 2/3 " ;
___________________________________
Note that:  "2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3"
__________________________________
So, "</span><span>9 1/3 - 2/3 = 9 1/3 - (1/3 + 1/3) = 9 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = ?
 ________________________________________________
   Start with:  "</span>9 1/3 - 2/3" = 9.  Then 9 - 1/3 = 8 3/3 - 1/3 = 8 2/3.
<span>______________________________________________________
</span>Another method:
____________________________
Given the problem:  
____________________________
  "9 1/3 - 2/3 = ?? " ;
____________________________
  Convert "9 1/3" into "28/3" ;  ("3*9 = 27"); ("27+1=28");
                                           (The "3" comes from the "3" in the: "1/3" portion.)
_________________________________________________________
  So, we rewrite as:  
_____________________________________
   28/3 - 2/3 = (28 - 2) / 3 = 26/3 ; or, 8  2/3 .

Since ΔABC ~ ΔEDC, ∠B = ∠D.

Since both triangles appear to be similar, the corresponding angles are the same, and corresponding sides are the same or have the same ratio.

We can write an equation to resemble the problem:

8x + 16 = 120

Solve for x.

8x + 16 = 120

~Subtract 16 to both sides

8x + 16 - 16 = 120 - 16

~Simplify

8x = 104

~Divide 8 to both sides

8x/8 = 104/8

~Simplify

x = 13

Therefore, the answer is 13.

Best of Luck!

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (-4, 9) and a diameter of 10 units
VLD [36.1K]
Radius = 1/2 * diameter = 5

Equation  is (x - (-4))^2 + (y - 9)^2 = 5^2

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 9)^2 = 25  is the answer
