A bucket contains 5 1/2 gallons of water. Water spills from the bucket so that only 5 pints remain.

How many pints of water spill from the bucket?

  39

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 pints in a gallon, so 5 1/2 gallons is (5.5)(8 pints) = 44 pints.

If 5 remain, then 44-5 = 39 were spilled.

39 pints of water spilled from the bucket.

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

what is the answer?
