The sum of two rational numbers is -8 1/4. if one of the numbers is -5 2/3, find the other number.

  -2 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the unknown number.

  x + (-5 2/3) = -8 1/4

Adding 5 2/3 to both sides of the equation tells us ...

  x = 5 2/3 -8 1/4 = -2 7/12

The other number is -2 7/12.

The difference can be found as ...

  -(8 1/4 -5 2/3) = -(8 3/12 -5 8/12) = -((8 -5) +(3/12 -8/12)) = -(3 -5/12)

  = -(2 7/12)

it's d.

step-by-step explanation:

because: -1(4x + 1y) +2 (1x-3y) distribute each number into the parenthesis.

then you would get: -4x - 1y + 2x -6y combine like terms

and get: 2x -7y

hope my answer has you if not then i'm sorry.

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
