Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

<em>Additional comment</em>

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

  \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bc}{bd}

  2. 280 - 4
  3. 350 - 5

What is the value of the expression 5x2 + 2x when x = 5?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 5

To determine a numerical value for the expression, simply substitute the value of "x" into the expression and simplify the expression, if necessary, to determine a specific number for the expression provided.

  • \implies 5x^{2}  + 2x
  • \implies 5(5)^{2}  + 2(5) \longrightarrow \longrightarrow \longrightarrow (x = 5)
  • \implies 5(5)(5)  + 2(5)
  • \implies 125  + 10
  • \implies 135

Therefore, the value of the expression 5x^{2}  + 2x when x = 5 is 135.

Find the measures of the following angles.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1: 36° 2: 122° 3: 122° 4: 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

First start out by getting 2 and 3. so 58+angle 3 has to sum to 180° since they are supplementary and are a straight line. So 180-58=122. Angle 2 is the same since theyre vertical. then since a triangle has 180° total, you subtract from 180 to find the final angle measurement.
