Answer: 2a - 3b
You can try rearranging it , it’ll be easier I think :)
3a + 6b - a - 9b
= 3a - a + 6b - 9b
= 2a - 3b
f(x) = sqrt [( x - 3) / (x - 5)]
well x cannot be 5 because that would make x - 5 = 0.
Also the fraction x - 3 / x - 5 cannot be negative because theres no real square root of a negative.
So x must be <= 3 or > 5
In interval notation the domain is ( -∞,3] or (5 , ∞)
left means subtracting
6 7/8 - 2 5/8
Whole numbers subtract each other
Numerators subtract each other
The denominators stay the same.
6-2= 4
7-5=2
4 2/8
Reduce 2/8. Divide by 2. 2/2= 1, 8/2= 4
4 2/8=4 1/4
Answer: 4 2/8 = 4 1/4 cups left
