3÷8+1÷8-(9÷8+5÷8)
=3÷8+1÷8-(14÷8)
=3÷8+1÷8-14÷8
=(3+1-14)÷8
=-10÷8
=-5÷4
=-1.25
To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be
72.
Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.
40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.
Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.
You would get 9e+46 so not a real answer, just an estimate of what the answer is.
Answer:
Option D, 15 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert the words into an expression</u>
A number is 5 less than 2 times another number. Their sum is 25.
<em>2x - 5 = 25</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Solve for x</u>
2x - 5 + 5 = 25 + 5
2x / 2 = 30 / 2
<em>x = 15</em>
