I turn the mixed numbers into decimals before doing anything else.
11 2/5----> 57/5----> 11.4
4 2/7----> 30/7----> 4.29
2 1/7----> 15/7----> 2.14
11.4=q-4.29+2.14
11.4=q-2.15
13.55= q
13.55 converted to a fraction is 13 11⁄20
q=13 11⁄20
The answer will be Area= 30ft2 all you had to do was add all the sideds
Let's do it step by step. In the first step eliminate the two parenthesis, for which you need to use the rule of multiplication of signs: the multiplication of two equal signs leads to positive sign, the multiplication of two different signs leads to negative sign. So -(-8) = +8 and -(-14) = +14. and 19 -(-8) - (-14) - 19 + 8 + 14 = 41. The answer is the option C. 41<span>.</span>
