The first step to solving this is converting these mixed numbers into improper fractions. You would do that by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator to that number; this number replaces the numerator. It would look something like this:
1 8/10 --> 18/10
2 2/5 --> 12/5
Now, to subtract the second fraction from the first one, the denominators of both fractions must be the same. We can make them the same by multiplying the second fraction by 2:
12/5 * 2/2 = 24/10
Now we can set up the equation as:
18/10 - 24/10 = -6/10 --> -3/5
The answer is negative 3/5.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
128
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary means they sum to 180, and it's also a straight line. 180-49 = 131. 131-3 = 128, or x.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x-y=7
-3x+9y=-39
Divide the second equation by 3
-x +3y = -13
Add this to the first equation
x-y=7
-x +3y = -13
----------------------
0x +2y = -6
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -6/2
y = -3
Now find x
x-y = 7
x -(-3) = 7
x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
x = 4
(4,-3)
Or by substitution
x-y=7
solve for x
x = 7+y
-3x+9y=-39
Substitute y+7 in for x
-3(7+y) +9y = -39
Distribute
-21 -3y +9y = -39
Combine like terms
-21 +6y = -39
Add 21 to each side
6y = -18
X would equal 60 degrees because the degree of the top left area is equal to the degree of the bottom right. So the equation would be x+20=80 so you would solve to get x=60
