How do you subtract fractions

Mathematics
2 answers:
RUDIKE [14]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure the denominators (thats the bottom number) are the same!! This is very important!! For example, if you are subtracting 3/10 from 1/2 you are going to multiply 1/2 by 5 (because 2×5 is 10) and get 5/10. Now, what you are going to do is subtract 4 from 5 and get 1/10. I hope this helped!

Heres a couple videos for extra help

Answer:

make the denominators ( bottom number ) the same and whatever u do to that do to the top

Step-by-step explanation:

e.g ½ - ⅓

make the common denominator 6

to get from 2 to 6 u times by 3 so it wud be 3/6

and then to get from 3 to 6 u times by 2 so do the same to the numerator (top number) so u get 2/6

3/6 take away 2/6 is 1/6

What is 1/8-10(3/4-3/8x)+5/8x
cluponka [151]

Answer:

x = 59/35

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute</u>

1/8 - 10(3/4 - 3/8x) + 5/8x

1/8 - 30/4 + 30/8x + 5/8x

<u>Step 2:  Combine like terms</u>

1/8 - 30*2/4*2 - 30/8x + 5/8x

1/8 - 60/8 + 35/8x

-59/8 + 35/8x

<u>Step 3:  Solve for x</u>

-59/8 + 35/8x + 59/8 = 0 + 59/8

35/8x * 8/35 = 59/8 * 8/35

x = 59/35

Answer:  x = 59/35

Explain your answer !! <br> Have a nice day <br><br> Will give braisnlt
Viktor [21]

Answer:

(3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to solve this by substitution

We first need to get a variable by itself in one of the two equations (it doesn't matter which variable and the equation you do the work on doesn't matter either)

I'm going to solve for y in the second equation

-4x-4y=4

add 4y and subtract 4 from both sides to get

-4x-4=4y

Divide by 4 to get

-x-1=y

We can plug this value in for y into the first equation and get

4x+5(-x-1)= -8

Solve for x

4x-5x-5= -8

-x-5= -8

-x= -3

x=3

We can plug this value into one of the first two equations and solve for y

4(3)+5y= -8

12+5y= -8

5y= -20

y= -4

Therefore the solution is (3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4
