Answer:-11/32

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/8 - (-17/32)

= -7/8 + 17/32

The highest common factor is 32

= (-7*4+17)/32

= (-28+17)/32

= -11/32

What are the steps to solve for: 1/5(x+5)=1/4(x-3)+1
andrew11 [14]
Step 1. Simplify \frac{1}{5} (x+5) to \frac{x+5}{5}

\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 2. Simplify \frac{x+5}{5} to 1+ \frac{x}{5}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 3. Simplify \frac{1}{4} (x-3) to \frac{x-3}{4}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}

Step 5. Multiply both sides by 20 (the LCM of 5,4)

4x=5(x-3)

Step 6. Expand

4x=5x-15

Step 7. Subtract 5x from both sides

4x-5x=-15

Step 8. Simplify 4x-5x to -x

-x=-15

Step 9. Multiply both sides by -1

x=15

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

#1 Find the slope given the points (3,-20) and (5,8) *
Artyom0805 [142]

Hey there :)

To find the slope with <em>two points</em> we will need to use the equation  \frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}

x^1    x^2       y^1  y^2

( 3 , -20 )  ( 5 , 8 )

Here is what the equation should look like when replaced with the numbers (<em>it will be a fraction</em>) :

                                     \frac{8 - (-20)}{5 - 3}

We know that <em>two negatives</em> cancel out and make a positive, so the numerator would actually be 8 + 20.

Solve the fraction and we get   \frac{28}{2}

28 <em>divided</em> by 2 is 14. The slope is 14.

Mashutka [201]

The illustration of the given mathematical elements is as in the attached images.

<h3>Illustration of mathematical elements</h3>

For line segments;

  • The beginning and end of the line are specified by the assigned alphabets.

However, for rays;

  • The ray is illustrated to originate from a point and span on from there till infinity.

For angles;

  • The alphabet in the middle of the set of 3 alphabets used to identify the angle represents the center point of where the angle is located.

At what point does the line given by the following equation cross the y-axis?
QveST [7]
Pretty sure the answer is D:

Because the equation is in the format y=mx+c (c being the y intercept), we know that the y intercept (or where the line will cross the y axis) will be -9.

B also says -9 but we have to be careful because it states that the x axis is -9 rather than the y axis.

Hope that helped you understand.
