Step-by-step explanation:
To subtract, you must first:
Find like denominators.
- Note: What you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator.
- If there is an equal sign, and there are fractions on both side, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Simplify:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take for example, a question such as:
7 3/10 - 9/20
First, change the mixed fraction into improper fraction:
7 = (7/1) * (10/10) = 70/10 + 3/10 = 73/10
Find common denominators. Remember that what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator. Multiply 2 to both numerator and denominator:
(73/10)(2/2) = (146/20)
Simplify. Combine like terms
146/20 - 9/20 = 137/20
Simplify.
137/20 = 6 17/20
6 17/20 would be your answer for the example question.

Answer:
$1.75 each
Step-by-step explanation:
5 people total
5 sodas at $5.50 = $27.50
5 hot dogs at $12.75 = $63.75
Total = $91.25
Each paid $20 = $100.00
Change = $8.75
Each receives: $1.75/each
4x^2 - 2xy^2
5xy^2 +
3x^2y
_____________
12x^5y^4-2xy^2
This is so because 4+5+3 is 12, then using laws of indices to add your x and y you get x^5 and y^4
To simplify your answer to the lowest you have it in the form of
3x^2y^2(4x^2y - 2xy^2)
If you multiply this as well you get the same answer I got with the addition
the zeros and the x-intercepts are the same with different names
x -intercepts are (- 7, 0 ) and (2, 0 )
if x = a is a zero then (x - a ) is a factor
thus (x + 7 ) and (x - 2 ) are the factors
