Answer:

-a - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Add like terms to simplify the expression:

2a + 5 - 3a - 12

Add together 2a and -3a:

2a - 3a = -a

Add together 5 and -12:

5 - 12 = -7

Add these together:

-a - 7

So, the simplified expression is -a - 7

Subtract fractions with different denominators

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

A fraction consists of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom.
The top one is numerator, the bottom one is denominator, and
These two numbers are separated by a line.

Let us consider two different fractions with different denominators

$\frac{10}{15}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Lets subtract the two fractions

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}\:\:\:\:$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{10}{15}:\quad \frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{5}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}3,\:5:\quad 15$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{3}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:5$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:5}{3\cdot \:5}=\frac{10}{15}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{5}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:3$

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{5\cdot \:3}=\frac{6}{15}$

$=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{10-6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:10-6=4$

$=\frac{4}{15}$

Therefore,

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

Firlakuza [10]

A) Both walked 3.5 hours.

B) Hannah walked 3.5 x 3 = 10.5 miles.

For Hannah you multiplied her rate by the time to get total distance.

Penelope walked 7 miles, the black dot on the graph is at the 7 miles on the distance.

C) Hannah walked a faster rate, because she walked further in the same amount of time.

Whats the answer of this problem <br> 8-1*0+2/2=??

Reptile [31]

If I'm doing this right, I'm pretty sure the answer would be 7, since 0 + 1 = 1, 8 - 1 = 7, and 7 x 1 = 7.

I hope this answer helped you! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! :)
