-4/5 = -16/20, so the new expression is (-16/20)+(3/20)
then, -16 + 3 is -13, so the solution is -13/20

-4/5 + 3/20 = 3/20 - 4/5

To subtract 2 fractions, they both need to have the same denominator.
Since 5 is one of the divisors of 20, we can just multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/5 by 4.
4/5 = (4*4) / (5*4) = 16/20

P.S. when the denominators of both fractions don't have any relation, you multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second, and the numerator and denominator of the second by the denominator of the first.

3/20 - 4/5 = 3/20 - 16/20

Now you just subtract the numerators:
3/20 - 16/20 = (3-16)/20 = -13/20

So -4/5 + 3/20 = -13/20

Hope this helps! :)

Sergio039 [100]
Your answer is C. 13.3 in. You take your circumference, and divide it by 3.14, which gives you your diameter. Then you divide that by 2 for the radius.

83.524/3.14=26.6
26.6/2=13.3

Answer: 13.3

Part A: Parallel lines are two lines that never meet. Find an example that contradicts this definition. How would you change the
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The problem in the first statement is that it does not say that the lines must be in the same plane.

Suppose in a 3D coordinate axis two lines as:

z = 0, y = 0 (this is the x-axis)

y = 1, x = 0 (this line is parallel to the z-axis but one unit above).

Those two lines are not parallel, and also never meet, so the definition is wrong.

The actual definition should be:

"Parallel lines are two lines that lie on the same plane and never meet"

B: The undefined terms are point, line, plane,...

An example can be "Plane", because if our lines do not lie on the same plane, then we can not use the concept of "parallel lines".
