What is -1 7/8 + -2 1/4? Please explain why and a step by step :).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-33/8= -4 1/8= -4.125

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: Add (-1 7/8) + (-2 1/4)= -33/8

Step 2: convert the mixed number to improper fraction

− 1 7/8 = (1x8/8 + 7/8) = - 8+7/8 = -15/8

Step 3: Add a negative

-15/8 +(-9/4) = -15/8 - 9/4

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive btw

step 4: Find the common denominator

-15/8 - 9/4 = -15x1/8x1 - 9x2/4x2 = -15/8 -18/8

8 is the least common multiple of denominators 8 and 4. Use it to convert to equivalent fractions with this common denominator.

step 5. Simplify

-33/8 = -4 1/8

A. Simplify, sub-step a: Reduce fraction to lowest terms.

Reduce fraction to lowest terms

1 is the greatest common divisor of 33 and 8. The result can't be further reduced.

B. Convert improper fraction to mixed number

-33/8 = 04 1/8

33 ÷ 8 = 4 remainder 1

Answer 2

Answer:

The solution is -4 1/8 or -33/8

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sf - 1\frac{7}{8} + ( - 2 \frac{1}{4} ) \\ \\ = \sf - \frac{15}{8} - \frac{9}{4} \\ \\ = \sf \frac{ - 15 - 9(2)}{8} \\ \\ = \sf \: = \frac{ - 15 - 18}{8} \\ \\ = \sf - \frac{33}{8} \\ \\ = \sf - 4 \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

If a and b must be positive integers, what is the largest integer n such that 13a + 18b = n has no solutions?

Answers

Answer:

234

Step-by-step explanation:

By Euclidean Algorithm on 13 and 18, we found that 13(7)+18(−5)=1.

Then we multiply the equation by n, we got  

13(7n)+18(−5n)=n.

Thus 13(7n)+18(−5n)=n always has integer  solution.

However, a and b must be positive integers. So we need to reduce 7n and increase -5n  

to make them positive. Noting that13(18m)=18(13m)∀m∈Z.

⇒13(7n−18m)+18(−5n+13m)=n⋯(1)

Let a=7n−18m and b=−5n+13m.Since a and b are positive integers, we have two inequalities:

7n−18m>0 and −5n+13m>0

⇒5n13<m<7n18⋯(2)

In order to make 13a+18b=n has no solutions,n must be taken to make (2) is impossible.

That means there exists no such integer m lying in the interval (5n13,7n18).

As a consequence, the difference between  

5n13 and 7n18 must not greater than 1.

7n18−5n13≤1⇒n13×18≤1⇒n≤234.

Let’s put the largest candidate n=234 into (2), we get 90<m<91 ⇒ m is not an integer, which is a contradiction!

Therefore the largest integer n to make 13a+18b=n has no positive integer solutions is 234.

Answers

The measure of m∠VSR if the horizontal line has points R, S, U and intersects a line with points V, S, T at point S is 80degrees

The point where two lines intersect is known as an angle.

Find the diagram to the question attached below.

From the diagram shown, we can see that the angle m∠VSR and m∠VSU lie on the line RSU which shows that the sum of these angles is supplementary. Hence:

m∠VSU + ∠VSR = 180

Given that m∠VSU = 100 degrees

∠VSR = 180 - ∠VSU

∠VSR = 180 - 100

∠VSR = 80degrees

Hence the measure of m∠VSR if the horizontal line has points R, S, U and intersects a line with points V, S, T at point S is 80degrees

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If 20 labourers=10 days

x labourers = 25 days

10x= 25×20

[tex] \frac{10x}{10} = \frac{25 \times 20}{10}[/tex]

Cancelling out by 10 on both sides

[tex]x = \frac{25 \times 2}{1} \\ x = 50 [/tex]

Therefore, it takes 50 labourers to complete the work at the same rate in 25 days.

DONT SOLVE

Answers

Answer:

I won't solve it, because you asked me to.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first question we should ask ourselves is "what are we looking to solve?"

We are looking for some sort of value that satisfies that equation. We'll call it x

Reading from left to right:

The sum of twice a number and 13 is 75

         +            2              x              13 = 75

2x + 13 = 75

Write formula for f(x) in slope intercept form

Answer:

f(x) = 1000x + 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

the point (0,3000)

p2 (1,4000)

slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

= (4000 - 3000) /( 1-0)

slope = 1000 = m

y = mx + b

y=1000x + b

Use one of the points to find b :

3000 = 1000(0) + b

b = 3000

f(x) = 1000x + 3000

Given the complex number z=6(cos120+isin120), find z3

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the complex number:

[tex]\displaystyle z = 6(\cos 120^\circ + i\sin 120^\circ)[/tex]

And we want to find z³.

Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle z^n = r^n(\cos(n\theta) + i\sin (n\theta))[/tex]

In this case, n = 3. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle z ^3 = (6)^3 (\cos (3(120^\circ)) + i\sin (3(120^\circ))[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle z^3 = 216(\cos 360^\circ + i\sin 360^\circ)[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaysyle z^3 = 216( 1 + i(0)) = 216[/tex]

In conclusion, our answer is B.
