Answer:

6 11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to convert the fractions into improper fractions, where 8 7/8 would turn into 71/8 and 2 3/5 would turn into 13/5. Then you have to find a common denominator which would be 40, so you get 355/40 and 104/40. Then to find the remaining amount, you have to subtract 104/40 from the 355/40, so 355/40 - 104/40, which equals 251/40. This turns into 6 11/40, which can't be simplified any further. Hope this helps :)

Answer:6 11/40

Step-by-step explanation: You can change your units to decimals or to fractions of equal value.  Decimals are easier for this so 8 7/8= 8.875 and 2 3/5 =2.6.  Then subtract: 8.875-2.6= 6.275   You can now convert back to a fraction by simplifying the .275 into 11 by dividing by 25 and 1000 into 40 by dividing by 25.  6+11/40= 6 11/40 tea left

Answer:

4x^2 + 21x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x^2+24x-8)-(5x^2+3x+10)

9x^2+24x-8-5x^2-3x-10

9x^2 - 5x^2 = 4x^2

24x - 3x = 21x

-8 - 10 = -18

Answer: 4x^2 + 21x - 18
