If you are saying:
(3/12) - (8/12)
Then since their denominators are the same we can subtract the numerators to get our answers.
3 - 8 = -5
Following the rule of adding and subtracting fractions, the denominators will not change unless they are different.
So: (3/12) - (8/12) = -5/12
Nine because there's three runners and three places to finish so 3*3=9
Answer:
19a+27b-54
Step-by-step explanation:
First distribute 7 into the first equation. (4a+3b-6) Multiply each coefficient and the constant by 7.
28a+21b-42
Then do the same for -3 and (3a-2b+4).
-9a+6b-12
Rewrite the equation 28a+21b-42-9a+6b-12.
Combine like terms: 19a+27b-54
If <em>X</em> - <em>A</em> = <em>B</em>, then <em>X</em> = <em>A</em> + <em>B</em>. So
