When adding or subtracting fractions that have a common denominator, simply subtract the numerators (top numbers) by each other. However, to subtract fractions with unlike denominators, find the LCD or "least common denominator". That is the lowest number both denominators can equate to.

\frac{13}{18} - \frac{5}{8} [tex] (\frac{13}{18})( \frac{4}{1} ) - (\frac{5}{8})( \frac{9}{1})  
[/tex]
The LCD of 8 and 18 is 72.
Some of the multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104...

The multiples of 18 are: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
The lowest common multiple is 72.

Multiply each fraction by what it takes for the denominator to equal 72.
8 multiplied by what number = 72
8*9=72
18 multiplied by what = 72
18*4=72
Multiply both fractions respectively 
13/18*4= 13*4/72
5/8*9 = 5*9/72
52/72 - 45/72
Simplify
52-45/72
7/72
This being the answer for the original expression

I hope this helps! If you have any question feel free to ask!

36a^2+24b^2=12( +2b^2)
vlabodo [156]
The blank space is found by dividing 36a^2 by 12, which is equal to 3a^2
To get to this answer you need to
1. divide the both sides of the equation by 12.
2. subtract 2b^2 from both sides. 
You will see that the blank space equals 3a<span>^2 then</span>

7. Diana took 2 hours to cycle from town X to town Y. Her average speed was 10 kilometers per
motikmotik

Answer:

a.) 20 kilometers

b.)1.67 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) formula= speed =distance/time

Speed= 10km/hr

Distance=unknown

Time=2hrs

Therefore from formula, distance=speed x time

10 x 2

20 kilometers

b.) If average speed is increased by 2km/hr then

total speed= 2+10=12km/hr

Distance remains constant therefore distance= 20km

Therefore time =distance/speed

20/12

= 1.67 hours
