You could convert them into improper fractions first. 7 7/8 should become 63/8 and 3 1/4 should become 13/4. Then, change both fractions so they share a common denominator. I'll use 8.
63/8-26/8 = 37/8, which is then converted into 4 5/8.
Hope that helped you.
Answer:
One of the most common algebraic symbols is the use of x, y or another letter of the alphabet to indicate a variable or unknown quantity. Common symbols used in algebra also include those related to equality, inequality, factorials and organization, like braces, brackets and parentheses.
Give brainiest please ;-;
<em>p = 21</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a midsegment, the base is going to be two times as large as the midsegment. You can find the midsegment if you multiply it by two and set it equal to the base. I have attached a photo below that may help you.
This is the equation we will be using.
Now let's solve! Let's start by distributing the 2 by what's in the parentheses.
Subtract p from both sides.
Add 26 to both sides.
<u>p = 21</u>
-5(r - 6) + 3(-8 + 8r) = -32
STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

STEP 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>19r</span>+6</span>−6</span>=<span><span>−32</span>−6</span></span><span><span>19r</span>=<span>−<span>38
STEP 3: Divide both sides by 19.
19r/19 = -38/19
r = -2
