Answer:

The answer is 3 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-There are 2 simple ways to do this.

-The first is just subtracting 3/4 and 1/4 which equals 2/4 or 1/2.

-The second way is to turn it into an improper fraction.

-(5*4)+3=23 and (2*4)+1=9.

-23/4-9/4=14/4

-14/4=3 1/2

Answer:

3 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/4 - 2 1/4

First subtract the whole numbers of the two mixed fractions, so:

= 5 - 2

= 3

Now, combine the leftover fractions:

= 3/4 - 1/4

= 2/4

= 1/4

Lastly, put the whole number and fraction together:

= 3 1/4

A. subtract the bottom equation from the top equation

Step-by-step explanation:

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation. So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation.

Explain how your knowledge of place value helps you divide a number in the thousands by whole numbers to ten . Give an example t
poizon [28]

Place value is the value individual digit has in its location: in order from higher to lower value, there is thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
When you divide by 10, you are affecting (only once) every digit from its current place value to the right.
For example 1000 divided by 10 = 100, you have relocated every digit to the right, making the zero dissolve (or better yet, divided by a hidden and in this case unusable comma).
