To rewrite with a negative exponent, reverse the fraction and change the exponent to a negative value:
Reversing 1/8 would be 8/1, which equals 8 and the exponent would become -2
The answer is 8^-2
When using substitution, you want to solve an equation for one variable that doesn’t make the equation worse to work with.
The general idea is that you want to find a variable that has a coefficient of 1 or -1.
In 2.5x - 7y = 7.5, both variables have “bad” coefficients.
In 6.2x - y = 1, the y has a coefficient of -1. That’s where you want to start.
Answer:
1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/8 - 1 7/8
I like to line them up vertically
3 1/8
- 1 7/8
---------------
We need to borrow from the 3
Take 1 from the 3 and make it 8/8
2 (1/8+8/8)
- 1 (7/8)
---------------------
2 (9/8)
- 1 (7/8)
---------------------
1 2/8
Simplify the fraction by dividing by 2 on the top and bottom
1 1/4
