Subtract. then, in two or more complete sentences, explained how you found the difference. in your explanation, make sure to include any equivalent expressions you wrote, any rules you used, and the answer. -1 5/12  - 7/12.

Since we're subtracting from a negative number, the value of the new number will also be a negative.

-1 5/12 - 7/12

Subtracting from a negative number is really just adding to it, even though the value of the number is going to be less than the original.

We're just adding 7 to 5, which is 12.

Since the denominator is also 12, this translates to just -2.

The answer is -2

The answer would be -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

   ( Split the mixed fraction then use distributive property )

    ( Solve the fractions, add or subtract if possible )

   ( Simplify the expression )

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
