What is -1 5/6 - (-3 1/4) ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminating a negative and changing our operation

1\frac{5}{6} +3\frac{1}{4}

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

-1-\frac{5}{6} +3+\frac{1}{4}

Solving the whole number parts

-1+3=2

Solving the fraction parts

-\frac{5}{6} +\frac{1}{4} =[?]

Find the LCD of 5/6 and 1/4 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 12

-\frac{10}{12} +\frac{3}{12}=-\frac{7}{12}

Combining the whole and fraction parts

2-\frac{7}{12} =1\frac{5}{12}

Solve each system of equations; nonlinear algebra 2<br><br> x2 + x + y - 26 = 0<br> x + y = 1
BigorU [14]

Answer:

(5,-4) and (-5,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x^2+x+y-26=0\\ \\x+y=1\end{array}\right.

Solve it. First, express y in terms of x from the second equation:

y=1-x

Substitute it into the first equation:

x^2+x+1-x-26=0\\ \\x^2-25=0\\ \\(x-5)(x+5)=0

Apply zero product property:

x-5=0\ \text{or}\ x+5=0

So,

x=5\ \text{or}\ x=-5

When x=5, then y=1-5=-4

When x=-5, then y=1-(-5)=6

We get two solutions: (5,-4) and (-5,6)

Can y’all please help me on this !!!
Orlov [11]
(y-60) = 56
Because opposite angles in a rhombus are congruent in a rhombus.
So,
y=16

Also in a rhombus all 4 sides are equal so you can set
16 = 3x + 4
So,
X= 4

Andy bought 4 hamburgers snd 2 milkshakes for $13.50. Danny bought 3 hamburgers and 1 milkshake for $9.25. What cost of a hambur
Molodets [167]

A hamburger costs $2.5 and a milkshake costs $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Form equations from the given details. Let cost of 1 hamburger be H and cost of 1 milkshake be M.

   4H + 2M = 13.50 ------ (1)

&  3H + 1M =   9.25 ------ (2)

  • Step 2: Multiply eq(2) with 2 to make coefficients of M equal.

   6H + 2M = 18.50 ------- (3)

  • Step 3: Subtract eq(3) from eq(1)

⇒ - 2H = - 5

⇒ H = $2.5

  • Step 4: Substitute value of H in eq(2) to find M.

⇒ 3 × 2.5 + M = 9.25

⇒ 7.5 + M = 9.25

⇒ M = $1.75
