M + 5n = 7
subtract 5n from each side
m = -5n + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
taking that blank as x
5/2 -x = 1/3
the x will go to the right hand side of the equation which then would make it positive ( making x the subject) and 1/3 will come to the left hand side of the equation becoming -1/3
so the equation will become 5/2-1/3=x
solving the fraction then gives 13/6 or 2.17 as the value of x
Hello!
1 foot = 12 inches

ANSWER:
Since there are 72 inches in 6 feet, 6 feet are greater than 7 inches.
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind that the LCD of 4 and 2 is 4.
