If these are mixed numbers, which I believe they are from the context, then the first step is to convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.
2 = 16/8 (sixteen eighths)
16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8
1 = 8/8 (eight eighths)
8/8 + 7/8 = 16/8
Then just subtract these improper fractions:
When subtracting fractions, only subtract the numerators.
19/8 - 16/8 = 3/8 (three eighths)
So the answer is three eighths (3/8)

If B is the midpoint of AC and AB = 4x + 14 and BC = x + 20, determine how long AC is.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the mid-point of AC

AB=BC

or,4x+14=x+20

or, 4x-x=20-14

or 3x=6

or,x=6/3=2

AC=AB+BC

= 4x+14+x+20

= 4(2) + 14 +2 +20

= 8+14+22

=44 units
